Dilled Chicken Salad Recipe is a favorite of my family and friends.

Lea says, “Peak under the edge of my bedspread and you will find a stack of cookbooks on the floor – just a little night time reading. Toppling off the nightstand are magazines and dog-eared recipes I wish to try. Back in the kitchen, the top of the microwave holds print-outs and magazine pages of recipes that I am working my way through. Although I write about organizing your kitchen, pantry, and ingredients each month, I usually leave the recipe writing to others.”
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 carrot, peeled and diced

-
In a large bowl, toss together the prepared onion, carrot, celery, and chicken. Toss with dill dip.

Cook’s Note: You can also buy a rotisserie chicken and chop the meat for your cooked chicken. This is very good with a mug of hot tomato soup.
