Ingredients
Salad Ingredients
- 1/2 tbsp fresh chives or green onion, chopped into small pieces
- 2 tbsp good-quality mayonnaise
- 3/4 cup rotisserie chicken meat, pulled or roughly chopped
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh pomegranate seeds
Optional
- 1-2 tsp distilled white vinegar or lemon juice for extra acidity
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: If using a food processor, pulse the chives or green onion until finely chopped. If not, finely chop the chives or green onion by hand.
- Combine chicken and mayo: Add the rotisserie chicken, mayonnaise, kosher salt, and pepper to the food processor. Pulse quickly 5-10 times until the mixture reaches your preferred consistency. If not using a processor, stir all ingredients together thoroughly in a bowl.
- Add acidity (optional): For a tangier flavor, add 1-2 teaspoons of distilled white vinegar or lemon juice during the mixing step and combine well.
- Stir in pomegranate seeds: Gently fold in the fresh pomegranate seeds to add bursts of sweetness and texture to the salad.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the salad for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and ensure a refreshing taste.
Notes
- Use high-quality mayonnaise for the best flavor and creaminess.
- Rotisserie chicken is convenient, but cooked chicken breast or thighs can be substituted.
- The salad can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 day.
- Add vinegar or lemon juice gradually to balance acidity to your preference.
- Serve on lettuce leaves or whole-grain bread for a fuller meal.
