Bacon Ranch Chicken Salad in a Pickle Boat

A little pickle crunch and a little chicken salad, all in one bite? It’s the perfect finger food for your next get-together. This chicken bacon ranch salad recipe takes the classic lunch staple and serves it up on hollowed-out pickle boats. It’s as cute as it is tasty.

Ingredients (8)

For safe meat preparation, reference the USDA website.

Steps (4)

  1. 1

    Make the chicken salad. Place the chicken, bacon and cheese into a mixing bowl.

  2. 2

    Stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, pickle ranch dressing and lemon juice until well combined. Toss with the chicken mixture until well coated; set aside.

  3. 3

    Cut whole pickles in half lengthwise. Using a small spoon, scoop out the center of the pickles — the seeds and a bit of the flesh — to create a “boat," leaving about 1/8—1/4-inch of pickle around the edge.

  4. 4

    Spoon chicken salad into the pickle boats, dividing evenly between the boats. Sprinkle with the chopped scallions and serve immediately.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Tested it out for family game night The recipe was really yummy (a direct quote from the kids) and made game night a blast. We didn't tweak anything this time but I think you cut also put this on celery if your kiddos hate pickles.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from really good I can see subbing out the chicken salad for maybe egg salad, ham salad, tuna salad. Just a thought. When you scoop out the pickle boats, add that to the salad mixture.
