Rotisserie Chicken Salad
Description
The Rotisserie Chicken Salad combines cooked shredded chicken with fresh diced red onion and celery to introduce a balance of savory meat and crisp vegetable texture. The mayonnaise, complemented by a touch of Dijon mustard, gives the salad a creamy and tangy binding agent that holds the ingredients together smoothly.
Seasoning with salt and black pepper enhances the natural flavors without overpowering. The salad can be eaten immediately or chilled to meld flavors, making it versatile for quick meals or entertaining.
This chicken salad works well spooned onto crackers, layered in sandwiches or wraps, or served atop lettuce for a lighter option. Its mildly tangy and creamy profile pairs with sweet or crunchy add-ins such as sliced grapes, apples, nuts, or fresh herbs, which can be mixed in for variety.
Substitutes for rotisserie chicken include shredded cooked chicken from slow cooker or Instant Pot preparations, or grilled chicken breast—just ensure seasonings are present. Mayonnaise can be swapped for plain Greek yogurt if preferred, and spices can be added for heat or smokiness.
Ingredients
- 2 cups chicken shredded rotisserie
- ¼ cup red onion chopped
- ½ cup celery chopped
- ½ cup mayonnaise made with avocado oil
- ½ Tablespoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Add chicken, red onion, celery, mayo, mustard, salt and pepper into a large bowl.

Notes
- If rotisserie chicken is unavailable, use shredded chicken from slow cooker, Instant Pot, or grilled breast with seasoning.
- Mayonnaise may be substituted with plain Greek yogurt for a tangier, lighter alternative.
- Add sliced grapes, apples, or dried cranberries for sweetness or chopped nuts for crunch.
- Fresh herbs can enhance flavor; consider adding for variety.
- For heat, mix in Sriracha; smoked paprika adds a smoky note.
