Chicken salad with mushrooms - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can omit the mushrooms. The dish will still be delicious with the chicken, eggs, cheese, and other ingredients. You might want to add a bit more of another ingredient, like more chicken or hard-boiled eggs, to compensate for the volume.
For a lighter option, Greek yogurt is a great substitute for mayonnaise and will still provide creaminess. Alternatively, mashed avocado can add a different flavor profile and healthy fats. Adjust seasonings to taste if you make a substitution.
Stored in an airtight container, this chicken salad will last for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator. Always check for any off smells or signs of spoilage before consuming, especially since it contains mayonnaise.
Yes, this salad is an excellent make-ahead option. Preparing it a few hours in advance allows the flavors to meld together beautifully. Just keep it refrigerated until you're ready to serve.
Absolutely. Simply omit the chicken and use a plant-based protein alternative, like cubed and seasoned firm tofu or chickpeas. Ensure your mushrooms are well-seasoned and consider adding a bit of smoked paprika or liquid smoke for a deeper flavor to replace the chicken's savoriness.
Freezing is not recommended. Mayonnaise-based salads can separate and become watery when thawed, resulting in a less desirable texture. The vegetables (like onions) can also become limp. It's best enjoyed fresh or stored in the fridge for a few days.
This chicken salad is versatile. Serve it on a bed of lettuce, in a sandwich or wrap, with crackers as a dip, or even as a side dish alongside grilled meats. Its creaminess makes it a great spread or dip.
The main sources of carbs here are minimal. To reduce further, ensure you're using a low-carb mayonnaise (check the label). You could also serve it in lettuce wraps instead of with bread or crackers for a lighter meal.
