Easy 3-Ingredient Chicken and Pickled Cucumber Salad

Elena Butuc

This delightful chicken and pickled cucumber salad recipe was shared with me in the comments of another post. It's incredibly simple and straightforward, which sparked my curiosity. The result was wonderful. This versatile dish works wonderfully as a breakfast spread on fresh bread, or as a festive appetizer served in bell pepper boats, on bruschettas, and more. To create a lighter version, consider blending the mayonnaise with a bit of creamy yogurt - it'll still be delicious.

Moreover, this chicken and pickled cucumber salad recipe aligns perfectly with a low-carb diet, particularly if you use a low-carb mayonnaise or my jar mayonnaise. This cucumber salad is a personal favorite, and I wholeheartedly recommend giving this recipe a try.
