I just whipped this up in my food processor – fabulous. I made it as written (6 tbsp is just a shy over 1/3c). The feta is faint but there and I would not skip it. I went for a full tablespoon of dill (because I LOVE dill) and not sorry I did.
Absolutely delicious. Even though I forgot the dill it turned out great. I did use some Adobo All Purpose Seasoning and substituted fat free plain Greek yogurt for the mayonnaise and low fat sour cream. Probably added closer to 6 ounces of Feta. Best chicken salad ever! One thing, the recipe calls for one red bell pepper, but doesn’t specify where to add it, with the chicken, celery and red onion mix or the mayonnaise, sour cream, dill and feta mixture. No big thing, as obviously it makes no difference. It would be delicious mixed with either as everything goes together in the end. Will be making this often so thank you so very much for the recipe.
Very good, quick and simple recipe. I made as directed (with a little less red onion) and had to sub Miracle Whip for the mayo. I added a pinch of curry and a few cherry tomatoes, chopped.
I liked this. Heavy dill taste, which I like. Feta taste got lost IMO. I would leave it out next time (and save some money).
To us, only okay good: 3.5 stars. Followed exactly but used shredded, rotisserie chicken. It was super easy but just not a ton of flavor – even with the feta and dill. No regrets that we tried! But will keep trying to find my next, new favorite. Thanks CHELC44!
I thought this salad was great. I used non fat greek yogurt for the sour cream and lite mayo and it was delicious. I also threw in a little tomato since I had one I wanted to use up.
Omg!! (Drop the spoon)
Absolutely loved this chicken salad! It’s pretty too! My husband ate on bread and I had it with some fancy crackers. Delicious.
Possibly the best chicken salad ever! I made it as written and served it as a sandwich with a slice of tomato on rye bread.
So yummy. I did not have feta. But I had everything else and it’s so good!!! I’ve never made chicken salad before. Great recipe for first time. I used left over split chicken breast that was cooked yesterday. Yummy!
So far so good
My favourite chicken salad of all time. Hubby loves it too.
The flavor is amazing! I would never have thought to put feta in chicken salad but it really adds something. I would definitely cut down on the Mayo and sour cream, like maybe use half what the recipe calls for. Otherwise, so good!
I substituted non-fat yogurt for the sour cream & added pecans, golden raisins and Sweet Bourbon Mustard. Also drizzled a little honey over the mixture. It came out pretty good for a first try this recipe.
Had leftover chicken and a container of feta, only half a red pepper and a bit of sweet onion. This chicken salad came out great. Will definitely make this again. I may try blue cheese crumbles next time.
This is delicious! I followed the suggestion of another reviewer and substituted plain Greek yogurt for the sour cream. I didn’t have a red onion, so I used green onion instead. The Feta cheese was salty on its own, so I reduced the amount of salt I added. And, I had some slivered almonds, so I added them as well. Just a bit more crunch to add to the celery. This is beautiful to look at and tastes light and healthy. I will make it again!
One of the most insanely yummy things I’ve ever made and eaten. I seasoned the chicken with some salt, black and cayenne pepper and sauteed in olive oil.
This is like crack! I used homemade fried chicken and added 1 tsp rosemary.
Substituted medium size Honeycrisp chopped for red bell pepper, and from others yogurt for sour cream. FANTASTIC!! For me; no need to look for any other chicken salad recipe.
I used dill relish Onion powder instead of onionsAdded Dijon mustardNo celery No red pepper
This was so good! I don’t always have feta cheese, but this is a great way to use it. I will definitely make this again.
