Rotisserie Chicken Chopped Salad
with adobo honey vinaigrette
Chopped rotisserie chicken makes an easy salad filling, and if you're doing the vegetarian version, extra beans and tomatoes give this a southwest feel. Dressed in our adobo honey vinaigrette, any salad filling is going to be jazzed up with so much flavor. You'll definitely want to put this vinaigrette on everything, but remember to save some for tomorrow night's dinner!

We didn’t have bell pepper and our romaine wasn’t the best, but the dressing mostly just tasted like honey vinegrette.
0 HelpfulShocked at how the dressing took it from a pretty good salad to a fantastic one! Almost forgot to save some dressing for tomorrow's meal. Would definitely make again.
0 HelpfulThis was delicious! Will definitely become a salad staple in our home! Easy to offer a deconstructed version to our toddlers as well. Added some corn to the dish.
