One of the biggest mistakes people often make with chicken salad is **overdressing it**. Too much mayonnaise or dressing can make the salad heavy, greasy, and unhealthy. It can also overpower the flavors of the chicken and other ingredients.
To avoid this mistake, start with a small amount of dressing and gradually add more until you reach the desired consistency and taste. You can also use healthier alternatives like Greek yogurt, avocado, or a light vinaigrette to keep the salad fresh and flavorful without the excess calories.
Another tip is to add plenty of crunchy vegetables like celery, bell peppers, and cucumbers to balance the textures and add more nutrients to your chicken salad. Enjoy your tasty and healthy creation!
