How to Make Chicken Macaroni Salad
Boil the Pasta
Boil a pot of water, season it with salt, and cook the pasta according to the package. Once al dente, drain the water from the pasta and run the pasta under cold water to remove any excess starch. Drizzle with avocado oil and set aside.
Make the Dressing
Combine 0% Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, light sour cream, fresh squeezed lemon juice, white wine vinegar, chopped fresh dill, chopped fresh tarragon, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. Mix well.
Assemble the Dish
Add the diced red onion and diced celery into the bowl with the dressing. Next, add the shredded chicken, al dente pasta, and two chopped hard-boiled eggs. Mix until well coated. Taste for seasoning. Serve and enjoy!
