cook: chicken salad

Husband bought a rotisserie chicken. What I should have done was just stick the plain roasted chicken into slices of bread slathered with mayo for a sandwich, which I'd enjoyed in the past. But for some reason, I felt compelled to zhush the chicken. I watched Ina Garten make a potato salad with a dressing of mayo, buttermilk and sour cream and thought to do the same.

   
Oh! Can't forget the Dijon mustard. For vegetables and herbs, I added chopped celery, scallions, and dill.
  
I added more chicken as the salad was looking too saucy. I also had brioche buns on hand as well as arugula and spring greens.
 
Looked promising. 
 
And my lunch was just meh. Needed salt, but because I was watching my sodium intake, I didn't add. All my meals have been health conscious oriented. Like fresh berries and French yogurt (Chardonnay in moderation; there are lots of days when I don't drink at all). And the next day, a California Niçoise.
  
The potato salad I made to go with leftover honey smoked salmon was excellent. Same ingredients as the chicken salad, but a lot more satisfying. Probably because I love me the carbs.
