How to Make Rainbow Rotisserie Chicken Salad (Did I mention it’s SO Easy?!)
- Start with leftover chicken. This can be rotisserie chicken or cooked chicken breasts.
- Gather your greens. I used romaine lettuce, but this rotisserie chicken salad would be fabulous with various leafy greens (i.e., arugula, baby spinach, chopped kale, Swiss chard…)
- Add the rainbow! Like purple cabbage, orange carrots, red tomatoes, & creamy green avocado. Or use whatever veggies you have on hand. The more, the crunchier!
- Sprinkle on some bling! I added my all-time favorite salad topper-pine nuts. You choose whatever YOU like including slivered almonds, pumpkin seeds, walnuts, or sunflower seeds.
- Top it off with dressing. This rotisserie chicken salad goes perfectly with Maple Dijon Low FODMAP Salad Dressing, but you can drizzle on whatever you like.
About this Low FODMAP Salad Dressing…
While I typically make my own salad dressings (like this Easy Homemade Vinaigrette), I decided to use Fody Low FODMAP Maple Dijon Salad Dressing for this Rotisserie Chicken Salad to make it SUPER quick and easy.
I like the Fody dressing because it has ingredients I recognize and cook with at home, including extra virgin olive oil, dijon mustard powder, and organic herbs. Bonus, it’s pretty darn tasty too!
And, if you’re not into maple dijon dressing but still want a low FODMAp option, Fody has other low FODMAP salad dressings to choose from, including Caesar, Garden Herb, and French.
What to serve with this Rotisserie Chicken Salad…
This rotisserie chicken salad is filling {and nourishing} enough to eat on it’s own, but if you want to complete your meal, serve it with fresh strawberries and your favorite gluten-free rolls. Like my family’s all-time favorite, “Best Ever Rolls” aka Pao de Quejo or Brazillian Cheese Puffs.
I promise you, they are well worth the few extra minutes it takes to make them!
Oh, and if you live with a furry four-legged friend, consider yourself forewarned that the tantalizing smell of juicy rotisserie chicken will lure him/her to your salad, so be sure and save a piece {or two} of chicken to share 🙂
