Celery salad with boiled chicken is made by combining grated celery root and shredded, cooled boiled chicken with a creamy dressing. Mix in yogurt, lemon juice and, if you like, garlic or walnuts. Add the dressing shortly before serving to keep the salad from turning watery.
The main ingredients are celery root, boiled chicken and a dressing, often made with yogurt and lemon juice. Garlic and walnuts are common additions, while some versions use mayonnaise or a mix of yogurt and mayonnaise. The celery is usually grated and the chicken shredded.
Celery salad with boiled chicken usually uses raw grated celery root, which gives it a crisp texture. You can cook the celery first for a softer, milder result, but let it cool and drain well before mixing it with the chicken and dressing.
Simmer the chicken in water until it is cooked through, then cool it and shred it into bite-size strands. Chicken breast gives the salad a leaner texture, while thigh meat is softer and richer. Avoid mixing warm chicken into a yogurt dressing.
Celery salad with boiled chicken can be made with either yogurt or mayonnaise. Yogurt makes a tangier, lighter-tasting dressing, while mayonnaise gives it a richer, thicker finish. Combining the two is also common; lemon and garlic add brightness.
Toss grated celery root with lemon juice as soon as you prepare it; the acid slows browning. If you are making the salad ahead, keep the lemon-coated celery covered in the refrigerator and mix it with the dressing close to serving.
Yes, you can cook and shred the chicken and prepare the lemon-coated celery ahead. For the best texture, store the components separately in covered containers in the refrigerator and stir in the yogurt dressing shortly before serving.
Serve celery salad with boiled chicken as a light meal, or pair it with soup and bread for a more filling lunch. It also works as a side dish; chopped walnuts or celery leaves make a simple topping.
Keep celery salad with boiled chicken covered in the refrigerator and eat it promptly, since it contains cooked chicken and a moist dressing. Do not leave it sitting out for an extended time, and discard it if its smell or appearance changes.
Freezing celery salad with boiled chicken is not recommended. The yogurt or mayonnaise dressing can separate as it thaws, and the celery may become watery and soft. For better texture, freeze only the cooked chicken separately and prepare the salad fresh.

Celery salad with boiled chicken combines shredded cooked chicken with celery root, often bound with yoghurt or a light dressing. The celery root brings a fresh, mildly earthy flavour and a little bite, while the chicken makes the salad more substantial. This Turkish-style combination is usually served chilled rather than as a warm dish.
It works well as part of a meze spread, a light lunch, or an easy supper; add herbs or a few walnuts, and serve with greens or bread. It is a high-protein, relatively low-carbohydrate choice, with 11.2 g of protein per 100 g. For a lighter dressing, use plain yoghurt and season it with lemon and herbs.
