This is similar to Nigella Lawson’s Roast Chicken Salad (w/ Spinach) found on this website. She includes a recipe for lime & olive oil dressing with salt which is delicious.
Marilyn Mears
A favorite easy, quick "recipe", with endless variations. I add walnuts or almonds for protein and crunch. Tasty and filling.

The problem with store bought rotisserie chicken is the salt content. It's usually way too much. Then they add dextrose to a gelatinous liquid filled with other dreadful additives to camouflage was what never a quality chicken in the first place. Make your own when it's convenient and then use it for this nice no-recipe recipe.

My family calls this "on a bed of," as in, "dinner is On a Bed Of." Good use for whatever's in the fridge/on the counter that should be used up, with any meat or poultry that's leftover or purchased. Extra points for creativity.

Do yourself a favor and get your bird at Costco ... NONE BETTER!

Super easy! Added parmesan cheese and currents to give it some tartness and sweetness.
Suzi
Made this tonight! Went with half arugula and half spinach, added toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch. Super easy and great way to use up the last bits of scallion and cilantro in the fridge.

we used to do a similar thing for pre-service dinners at a restaurant where I worked in the 80's. We mostly had salad made with lettuce, rocket and other delicious greens with tomato etc grated beetroot carrot or whatever and we put a soft boiled egg on the top for protein - sunflower seeds. the garlic is important. A drizzle of olive oil. A shaving of parmesan. Yum.

You're in my head. I opened this email while eating leftover rotisserie chicken chopped in the chopper mixed with apple, celery, and the remains of a bag of broccoli slaw. With a little mayo and a lot of spinach on a piece of white toast. Nothing fancy but comfortable and delicious. Rotisserie chicken is the best cooking cheat there is.

Gosh I love this. It is so obvious, and such a nice reminder how great simple quick things can be. As I am famous for staring down leftover roto chicken wondering "what next, my bird?", this is good. A good basic as Sam wrote it which, as others have noted, is open to endless riffs, spins and variations. Thank you.

Made this tonight — rotisserie chicken for the flesh eater and white beans for the vegetarian. Added feta and toasted sesame seeds. Delicious! A homemade baguette with butter was a nice side.

So good! Added a little bit of anchovy to the dressing, which was terrific. Leftovers made a delicious sandwich on a bun, with mayo, to take to work.
Beth
Has anyone ever wondered about the safety of store bought rotisserie chicken which is placed -hot- into plastic containers and then kept warm under heat lamps. I have never been able to get an answer to this.

I love to add pineapple

I made this with chicken for the bf, and without for me, and it was delicious both ways. I doubled the cilantro because cilantro is life.

An effortless and cool salad. This recipe made my usually a bit sad rotisserie chicken night feel kind of chic. I added honey to the dressing and sprinkled with maldon salt and nutritional yeast (as a dairy free sub for the parm everyone has been suggesting). Enjoy!
Abby W.
This was so quick and easy for a busy weeknight. I threw it together and consumed it in under 30 mins. So filling, too!
Kristie
My husband says this is the best salad he's ever had. I used basil olive oil with juice of one lime and a minced garlic clove. Chicken was stove top cooked whole chicken.

I made this with a chicken (actually a fowl) I had used for making chicken soup. Worked great. Mixed greens, sliced tomatoes, red onion, salad stuff plus the avocado. Squeezed a lime over the mix, added cilantro and oil. Delicious dinner from leftovers.
Kate
Love this non-recipe. Add cherry tomatoes, sliced radishes and crumbled blue or Gorgonzola cheese - takes this salad to a new level.

I used the leftover tahini dressing from the quinoa bowl and it was incredible!
Liz
Re Costco rotisserie chickens, I've stopped buying them. Costco has been called out for refusing to adopt humane chicken raising or processing.
JIM
Whole Foods has rotisserie chicken without the added salt and preservatives.
GG
The best no recipe recipe with endless opportunities! I add chopped almonds as suggested by another reviewer. This one never fails.
Kayla A
So simple and so delightful! Received high marks from my husband, who can count on one hand the salads he would enthusiastically eat for dinner.
Luca
Just perfect! Healthy, easy, great for weeknight or weekend and great for parties. The suggested blend of flavours, which is my favourite, works perfectly. Sometimes I substitute the juice of a whole lemon for lime juice and add vinegar preserved capers, particularly on hot summer days. The recipe works perfectly even if you remove the skin of the chicken (to avoid the skin‘s fat and high salt content).
Taos Chris
It’s also delicious to put shedded chicken, some greens, salsa, avocado, green onions, tomatoes (basically this salad) etc. rolled up in a flour tortilla for a cold sort of instant burrito. Nice for no cook, cold summer dinner.
Mary
DELICIOUS
Wolfie G
Great, quick recipe. I'll be making this regularly, varying with shrimp or tuna as a replacement for the chicken. Also, herby mixed greens instead of arugula make a nice alternative.
