Ingredients

4 cups diced cooked chicken breast (about 2 large breasts)
1 stalk celery diced to 1/4" pieces
4 scallions sliced thinly
1 1/2 teaspoon finely diced fresh dill or tarragon (1/2 teaspoon if dried)
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley (2 teaspoons if dried)

1 cup mayonnaisse
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
freshly ground pepper to taste

Other Ingredients I like to add

shelled roasted, salted sunflower seeds
pepitos (roasted shelled pumpkin seeds)
slivered almonds - roasted
walnuts

dried cranberries
avocado
string cheese

Directions

In a mixing bowl, toss together the chicken, celery, scallions and herbs. Set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, salt and pepper to taste.
Add to the chicken and mix gently until combined. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

This is good in a salad, or just plain.
