Freeze-dried chicken, onions and celery stored in a jar, ready to rehydrate. Stir in mayonnaise and Dijon for chicken salad when you need it.

Ingredients

In the jar

2 1/2 C Thrive chopped chicken
1/2 C Thrive chopped onions
3/4 C Thrive celery
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper or Thrive peppercorn seasoning
1/2 tsp Thrive Chefs Choice seasoning

Added when making

2 Cups water
3/4 Cup mayonnaise
1 Tbs Dijon mustard

Directions

Put the jar ingredients into a jar, lay an oxygen absorber packet on top, and close the lid.

Notes

To make: open the jar and remove the oxygen packet. Put the contents in a bowl with the 2 cups water; stir, then refrigerate 10 minutes. Mix in the mayonnaise and Dijon until well combined (runny at first; it thickens). Cover and refrigerate 1 1/2 hrs before serving.

REFRIGERATE: the finished salad (with mayonnaise) must be kept refrigerated.

Safety: freeze-dried chicken can go rancid.
