Notes
- Lime juice can replace lemon juice if desired.
- 2-3 cooked and shredded chicken breasts can replace the rotisserie chicken.
- The flavors will build the longer this salad chills in the refrigerator but is still delicious when consumed right after making.
- Sour cream may be used in place of yogurt.
- For a less mayo-y flavor, you could do ½ and ½ mayo and yogurt or sour cream.
