This potato and chicken salad is very easy to make and perfect for lunch, dinner or to entertain.
This potato and chicken salad recipe is a take on my Ensalada Rusa recipe, which translates as Russian Salad. If you are not familiar with this salad, it’s a classic potato salad served throughout Latin America, usually made with potatoes, carrots, peas, onions and mayonnaise, although there are many variations.
I added diced apples and cooked shredded chicken to my traditional recipe and the result was fantastic! I really Iike the combination of textures and flavors of this potato and chicken salad, which can be served as a main meal or side dish.
Ingredients You'll Need
The printable recipe card with exact amounts and directions is below.
Chicken: You need cooked chicken breast to make this salad. You can cook it or use store bought roasted chicken.
Potatoes: I like to use red potatoes for this recipe, but feel free to use russet potatoes if you prefer.
Apple: I like using organic apples.
Onion: I like using yellow onions, but red onions will also work.
Peas and Carrots: I like using frozen peas and carrots, but you can use fresh vegetables.
Cilantro: Replace it with parsley if you prefer.
Dressing: I use a mixture of mayonnaise, sour cream, limes salt and pepper to make my dressing, but you can replace it with greek yogurt if you prefer.
