5 Rotisserie Chicken Salad Ideas
I love rotisserie chicken because there are SO many ways to use it. But I find it’s also an easy meal-prep item to burn out on.
I mean how many salads can you eat with chicken and avocado?
Here are 5 salad ideas to get you out of the lunch rut, but that can still be put together in 5 minutes or less.
I also tried to keep the ingredients at 10 or less, including the dressing.
You’ll notice the thing that really pulls each salad together are the fresh herbs. I know often times we buy them for a specific recipe, but you’ll quickly learn here how we add herbs to everything. They’re nutrient-dense powerhouses and add so much flavor to prevent mundane meals.
