Ingredients
- 2 cup macaroni dry
- 1/2 cup dill relish
- 2 stalk celery minced
- 1 large carrot minced
- 1 pound chicken breast chopped
- salt & black pepper to taste
Dressing
- 1.5 cup mayo
- 3 tablespoon mustard
- 2 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- To begin, I suggest making the recipe the night before or a few hours before serving. This will allow all of the ingredients to come together.
- Boil the macaroni per the instructions on the package. For the chicken, you'll want thin cuts and season with salt and pepper. Sauté in a frying pan or during the summer use the grill outside like I did.
- While you're waiting finely chop the celery and the carrot.
- In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients for the dressing.
- Now, in a large bowl toss the cooked and cooled macaroni, chopped chicken breast, celery, carrots and pot the dressing over everything. Give everything an even tossing with the dressing.
- Lastly, most importantly you'll need to taste and adjust the salt levels to your liking. If possible allow to sit a few hours or serve immediately.
