Main Ingredients

3 cups shredded chicken Use all-white meat or rotisserie chicken to achieve tender and juicy shreds.
1 large rib celery Finely diced for crunch.
½ cup mayonnaise Choose full-fat mayonnaise for a creamy flavor.
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar Adds tanginess.
½ teaspoon onion powder For aromatic quality without pieces of onion.
¼ teaspoon garlic powder Adds depth and flavor.
¼ teaspoon kosher salt Essential for flavor.
¼ teaspoon black pepper Adds a hint of spice.

Preparation

In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded chicken, diced celery, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Stir the ingredients together until they are well combined.
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.

For a twist, consider adding diced grapes or apples for sweetness, or nuts for crunch. Fresh herbs like dill or parsley can enhance the flavor.
