Rotisserie Chicken Salad
Description
This salad uses pulled meat from a rotisserie chicken mixed with diced celery and onion to provide texture contrasts. The dressing combines mayonnaise with lemon juice, poultry seasoning, and salt to season the chicken and vegetables evenly. After combining, the salad chills for 30 minutes to integrate flavors and firm up the texture. This dish serves as a versatile salad for sandwiches, wraps, or lettuce boats. The notes suggest optional mix-ins like grapes, pecans, dried cranberries, apples, boiled eggs, green onions, or crumbled bacon can be added in quantities of 1/2 to 1 cup to enhance or vary the flavor profile according to preference. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 to 5 days, separated into meal-sized portions if desired.
