Ingredients
- 1 whole rotisserie chicken
- 4 cups mixed salad greens
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 1 large avocado
- 0.5 medium red onion
- 0.5 cup almonds
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by shredding the meat from the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces, discarding the skin and bones. Place the chicken in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the mixed salad greens. Add them to the bowl with the shredded chicken.
Step 3
Halve the cherry tomatoes and thinly slice the cucumber and red onion. Add these to the salad bowl.
Step 4
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Dice it into cubes and gently fold into the salad.
Step 5
Toast the almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool slightly, then roughly chop and add to the salad.
Step 6
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, fresh lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, minced garlic clove, salt, and black pepper until emulsified.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together until well combined.
Step 8
Serve the Paleo rotisserie chicken salad immediately, or refrigerate it for up to 2 hours to meld the flavors further before serving.
