Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken (dark or white meat)
  • 4 cups mixed baby greens or baby spinach
  • 1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced or chopped
  • 4–5 radishes, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup snap peas, trimmed and halved
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • A handful of chopped fresh parsley or basil
  • Dressing:
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Remove skin and bones from the rotisserie chicken, then shred or chop about 2 cups of meat.
  2. Rinse spring greens thoroughly and dry using a salad spinner or clean towel.
  3. Thinly slice cucumber, radishes, and red onion. Trim and halve snap peas. Halve cherry tomatoes. Dice avocado last to prevent browning.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice), honey, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. In a large bowl, combine greens, sliced veggies, chicken, and fresh herbs.
  6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently but thoroughly to coat everything evenly.
  7. Add diced avocado on top and give the salad one last gentle toss just before serving.
  8. Serve immediately for best freshness and texture.

Notes

Keep dressing separate if prepping ahead to avoid soggy greens. Add avocado last to prevent browning. You can swap snap peas with green beans or asparagus tips. For vegan option, omit chicken and use maple syrup instead of honey.
