A refreshing and flavorful chicken salad with a zesty lime twist, perfect for a light meal or sandwich filling.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lime juice, lime zest, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Use a whisk to ensure the dressing is well combined and creamy.
Add the shredded chicken, chopped celery, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl with the dressing.
Gently fold the ingredients to avoid breaking the chicken pieces.
Mix everything together until the chicken is evenly coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more lime juice or salt to your preference.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together for a more cohesive taste.
Serve the chicken salad on a bed of greens, in a sandwich, or with crackers.
Garnish with extra cilantro leaves or a lime wedge for a fresh presentation.
