Kewpie mayonaise has a deeper flavor and umami taste than normal mayonaise. After roasting a chicken I like to make chicken salad with the breast meat shredded. I use vegetables and herbs I have convenient but scallions are celery are nice. I usually have parsley but chives and/or dill add nice flavor.
Ingredients
- 1/2c kewpie mayonaise (or any mayo)
- 1t pickle juice
- 1t mustard
- 1-2t fresh lemon juice (about 1/2 lemon)
- 3 cups or about 16oz shredded chicken
- celery chopped
- 1-2 stalks scallions and/or 1-2 radishes
- a slices of pickles chopped
- 2T parsley and/or dill, chives
- salt, pepper to taste
Steps
- in small bowl mix mayonaise, mustard, pickle juice, lemon juice (be careful does not get too watery, can add some greek yogurt or more mayo to thicken)
- in large bowl shred chicken
- chop vegetables and pickles add to chicken
- add herbs
- add about 1t salt, 1/2t pepper add more to taste
- best if let sit for 1-2h or can have some right away
