Chicken Salad With Broccoli created by Parsley

This main dish salad looks very attractive and tastes even better. Simple, readily available ingredients that are more than the sum of their parts. Easy to make but there is a trick. The broccoli must be green and crisp for the recipe to WOW. Fresh dill can certainly be used but I rarely have it on hand as I do dried dill.

This recipe was easy to make, but I didn't like the taste. It was a little bitter/sour. I would not make it again.

I like this. Easy to make, very delish. I steamed broccoli, then plopped it in ice water to keep it bright greeen. Putonion and broccoli in small food processor as I need items small as I have a swallowing problem. This is definetly a keeper and good enough for "covered dish luncheons" Thanks my adopted child, you did your momma proud.

I made this for my mom and I for lunch and oh my gosh is it delicious! The dill flavor is wonderful. We served it with broccoli soup and they were great together. I steamed the broccoli until it was tender-crisp but was still a pretty bright green. I used reduced fat sour cream and light mayonnaise with great results. By leaving out the chicken and broccoli this would also make a wonderful veggie dip. Thanks for sharing this recipe!

Fantastic! It's a terrific combination of flavors. I cut my broccoli flowerets very small and blanched them in boiling water for 2 minutes. I really didn't measure the broccoli, but I'm sure that I used more than called for. I used reduced fat sour cream. Thanx for a new salad recipe. I'll make this again.
