Fit Foodie Cooking Club: April 2024


Welcome to April’s edition of Fit Foodie Cooking Club! We’re still on our pickle craze over here, and in honor of it we’re making our brand spanking new dill pickle chicken salad.

What is Fit Foodie Cooking Club?

The Fit Foodie Cooking Club is a monthly cooking challenge to get you in the kitchen cooking from scratch!

We thought there was no better way to bring our virtual community together than to all make the same recipe each month to celebrate real food.

April 2024 – The Details

Read the below details VERY carefully as we want to make sure your entry counts! If you have questions, please leave them in the comments of this post.

Recipe of the Month: Dill pickle chicken salad

We’ve dubbed this the year of the pickle! And can’t get enough of that tangy pickle flavor — you may have noticed 😏 It all started with our dill pickle dip, then came our air fryer pickles and spicy pickle margaritas, and now — this dill pickle chicken salad.

It’s tangy, crunchy and perfectly creamy. When I say it’s the only chicken salad recipe our team is making these days, I’m not exaggerating at all. We can’t wait for you to make it for your own families ❤️

Ingredients for a recipe including shredded chicken, chopped onions, sliced pickles, and diced celery in a bowl with tongs.

All About Dill Pickle Chicken Salad

INGREDIENTS YOU’LL NEED

  • Shredded chicken: we used rotisserie chicken to make things easy peasy. Feel free to use 1.5 lbs. of any shredded chicken of your choice.
  • Baby dill pickles: 2 whopping cups of sliced baby dills means you’ll get a crunchy bite of pickle in every bite.
  • Crunchy veggies: dice up white onion and celery stalks for the ultimate crunch companion to the sliced baby dills in this chicken salad.
  • Fresh dill: a big ol’ handful of fresh chopped dill, yahs please 😏
  • Creamy sauce: our dill pickle chicken salad sauce is creamy and tangy. We’re using primarily Greek yogurt and some mayo tossed together with chopped fresh dill, dill pickle juice, lemon juice, garlic powder and salt.

Charity of the Month

Together Rising transforms collective heartbreak into effective action.

Whether it’s pulling children out of the sea outside the refugee camps in Greece, helping abandoned kids on the streets in Indianapolis, establishing the first opioid recovery home for pregnant teens in New Hampshire, building a maternal health wing in Port-au-Prince, providing a single mother access to breast cancer treatment, or keeping a foster family’s heat on in Texas—Together Rising identifies what is breaking the hearts of our givers as they look around their world and their community, and then we connect our givers’ generosity with the people and organizations who are effectively addressing that critical need.

We’ll be doubling the match from our giveaway winners and donating $400 to Together Rising to aid in their efforts.
