A lunchtime classic, these chicken salad sliders are served on whole grain rolls and made with real mayonnaise and a splash of tangy dill pickle juice.
I have waited MONTHS for this weekend! Not only will we be celebrating Passover and enjoying my Aunt Patsy's famous matzo ball soup but Sunday evening is the Mad Men Season 7 Premier! What can I say, it doesn't take much for me to get jazzed up.
To celebrate all things Mad Men, I've paired up with a few of my favorite blogging friends to host a #MadMenBlogParty! But before we get to the that, let's talk about these tasty little chicken salad sliders.
Made with real, creamy mayonnaise and tangy pickle juice, the crunchy celery and spicy onion add texture and flavor to these classic chicken salad sliders. It's just the type of food I can imagine Betty having in the fridge for Don to help himself to when he crawled home around midnight on a Tuesday after a long day drinking in the office.
So let's dish...who is your favorite Mad Men character? Who are you most excited to see this season? Let's hear it friends!
No forks required.

I like Don.
I never would have thought to put pickle juice in there! I'll have to do that when I make soy-chicken salad =D Yay for Mad Men! You're right, I can so see Betty Draper having this in the fridge.
I love Peggy and Joan. They are two different women who are trying to make it in a world built by and for men, and every time they get knocked down, they get back up!
I was just cruising Pinterest looking for meal ideas for next week... thanks for the chicken salad recipe!
EEK! I knew that premier was coming up soon, but didn't realize it was this weekend! I'm happy and sad at the same time, what will we do without Don Draper come the end of the season??
I can't believe I'm the only Roger fan out there!
Yummy!! Those look oh so good!!
These look sooooo good Liz and your photos just keep getting better! So sad I was unable to participate in the party. I have been so behind lately.
You're so sweet- thank you for your kind words Sophia!!
My fav character is Sally Draper
I love a good home made chicken salad! They remind me of my child hood ;)
Me too Gwen!!!
I love Madmen too. Can't wait!
I actually haven't watched Mad Men but do hear people talking about it all the time...I bet it is good!
Oh my cute!! These are adorable.
YUMMMMO-can't wait to make this!
Admittedly I have never caught an episode but I have a total girl crush on Jessica Paré and her style on and off the show.
These sliders look fantastic! What a fun blog event :)
Omg I TOTALLY have a girl crush on Jessica!!! You must watch the show!
Don Draper all the way...sexy!
Looks like a great recipe. Looking forward to try it.
Sally and Joan are my favorites on Mad Men. Can't wait for the premiere.
What a great quote! You can't go wrong with a classic like chicken salad. Love your version. Pinned.
That's the absolute truth. Thanks so much!
Peggy is my favorite character because she has had the most interesting journey since episode 1.
Peggy is my favorite!
