Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups rotisserie chicken shredded or cubed
  • 1 cup celery diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
  • 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard or wholegrain mustard
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Whisk
  • Cutting Board
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded rotisserie chicken, diced celery, and finely chopped red onion. Use two forks or your hands to break up any larger pieces of chicken and ensure everything is evenly distributed. You want each bite to be packed with flavor, so mix it well!
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, freshly squeezed lemon juice, sea salt, and black pepper. This will create a creamy dressing that’s tangy and full of flavor. Make sure to whisk until the ingredients are well combined and smooth. This dressing is what brings the whole salad together!
  3. Once you have your dressing ready, pour it over the chicken salad mixture in the large bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss everything together, ensuring that the dressing evenly coats the chicken and vegetables. You want every bite to be creamy and flavorful.
  4. Stir in the chopped parsley for a burst of freshness. This not only adds flavor but also brightens up the salad with a pop of color. Be gentle while mixing to keep the chicken pieces intact.
  5. Serve the salad immediately, or cover and refrigerate it for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serving it chilled enhances the flavors and makes it even more refreshing, especially on a warm day.
  6. Enjoy your Rotisserie Chicken Salad on its own or over a bed of greens for a heartier meal. You can also serve it with whole grain crackers or on a sandwich for a delightful lunch option.

Notes

Store leftover salad in an airtight container for up to three days. It’s best enjoyed fresh, so consider making smaller batches if you’re unsure about leftovers.
