Zubereitung von Best Chicken Salad Ever
- **Make the Homemade Mayonnaise:** In a glass bowl, whisk together 1 large egg yolk, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- With the whisk, slowly drizzle in 1 cup of vegetable oil in a thin stream, whisking constantly until emulsified.
- Once a thick emulsion forms, you can gradually increase the speed of the oil drizzle, until all oil is incorporated. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs (dill, chives or parsley).
- Refrigerate the mayonnaise for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped, with 1/2 cup of the homemade mayonnaise. Mix until chicken is evenly moistened.
- Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, and 1/4 cup of your favorite fresh herbs (dill, chives, or parsley).
- Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
