Very good sandwiches! I used miracle whip instead of Mayo to save on calories. I ALSO added a lot of curry, as I love to add it to mayo based salads. To do this, just make your sandwich as normal and then sprinkle curry over the chicken salad as if it were salt. Makes it have a little kick and fills you up with just one sandwich.

I wanted a real chicken salad recipe and this fit the bill perfectly. I added 1/2 cup diced onion, as one reviewer suggested and it was awesome. The dill and lemon juice were perfect in it. This recipe is a keeper and I will use it again and again! Thank you!

Ellie, this is very good and easy to put together. I really didn't measure the mayo. Did not have the dill seed but did have dill weed. Used about 1/2 tsp of the dill weed. This is a down to earth chicken salad recipe and the ingredients and flavors compliment each other nicely. Thanks for sharing.

I was looking for a no frills but delicious chicken salad and this is it! Very good and easy to put together. I added 1/4 cup of chopped onion but besides that left the recipe as it was. Delicious!
