Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 cups coarsely chopped rotisserie chicken
- 1-1/2 cups frozen sweet peas thawed & patted dry
- 1/3 cup mayo Hellmann's/Best Foods
- 3 tablespoons sour cream I use light
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
- 1 large lemon 1/2 tsp zest; 2 tsp juice
- Salt and pepper
- Serving suggestsions see note 1 (arugula and Parmesan for the viral version!)
Instructions
- Thaw peas according to package directions. Pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Excess moisture will water down the dressing.
- Zest the lemon to get 1/2 teaspoon zest, then juice it to get 2 teaspoons juice. Add both to a large bowl along with the mayonnaise, sour cream, honey, Dijon mustard, salt & pepper. Whisk until completely smooth.
- Add the chicken & dried peas. Gently fold with a spatula until everything is evenly coated. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve. See Note 1 for my favorite serving ideas!
Notes
Note 1: Serving suggestions: Serve in sandwiches, lettuce wraps, or with crackers for dipping. For the viral TikTok-inspired version, spoon the salad over a bed of arugula & finish with plenty of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
