This version of chicken salad is the most popular chicken salad sold at Whole Foods to date.  It has lots of flavor and texture and I just love how the poppy seeds add an extra surprise!

I used Greek yogurt to create that cool and creamy dressing but you could certainly stick to the original and use real mayo OR if you can’t decide, do a 50/50 split.

This salad is by far at it’s best when made with fresh baked chicken breasts but if you’re in a pinch, some store-bought rotisserie chicken will work just fine.

    Hi Dani,

    With the Sonoma chicken salad, am I able to do a meal prep with this or would it be better to have it freshly made everyday?

    Thanks!

      You can definitely meal prep and keep it in the fridge for 3-5 days, but everything tastes better when its made fresh!!

    Hi Dani,

    Is there a particular brand of apple cider vinegar you use for this? I used Braggs and feel like it’s overpowering the taste of everything. Love your videos!
