Tone’s® Lemon Pepper Chicken Salad
Tone’s® Lemon Pepper Chicken Salad is a vibrant, zesty dish that’s perfect for a refreshing lunch or light dinner. The recipe centers around tender, shredded or diced cooked chicken breast as the base, providing a lean protein source. The real flavor heroes, however, are Tone’s® Lemon Pepper Seasoning and Mighty Salt™, which work together to create a bold, citrusy profile with just the right amount of savory depth.
To begin, cooked and cooled chicken is combined with crisp celery, red onions for a bit of bite, and halved seedless grapes or dried cranberries to add a subtle sweetness and texture contrast. A creamy dressing is prepared using mayonnaise (or plain Greek yogurt for a lighter twist), fresh lemon juice, and a generous amount of Tone’s® Lemon Pepper Seasoning, known for its bright lemon and cracked black pepper flavor. A pinch or two of Mighty Salt™ is added to enhance all the flavors without overpowering the natural freshness of the ingredients.
Once everything is mixed together, the salad is chilled for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. The result is a tangy, peppery chicken salad with layers of crunch, creaminess, and a citrusy kick. Serve it over a bed of lettuce, inside a croissant, wrapped in a tortilla, or with crackers for a satisfying meal.
This recipe is not only simple and quick to make but also highly customizable. Add red onion, green onion, slivered almonds, dried cranberries, halved red grapes, and more! Pair with our San Francisco Garlic Fries for a complete meal!
