Ingredients
For the Dressing:
- ¾ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic (minced)
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the Salad:
- 2 cups cooked chicken breast (shredded or cubed)
- 1 whole large cucumber (diced)
- ½ cup red bell pepper (finely diced)
- ¼ cup red onion (finely diced)
Instructions
- Make the dressing. In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, garlic, salt, and black pepper until it's smooth.
- Combine the ingredients. Add the cooked chicken to a large mixing bowl and pour the dressing over it. Then, gently fold the diced cucumber, red bell pepper, and red onion until evenly coated.
- Chill. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Garnish and serve. If you like, you can add some fresh herbs like parsley or dill, or put a lemon wedge on the side. It's good with a croissant, on top of lettuce, or just by itself.
