Rotisserie Chicken Chopped Salad
with adobo honey vinaigrette
This has probably been our most popular entree salad, and we think the vinaigrette is definitely what made it such a loved dish. Feel free to tweak the flavors all you want and make it your own.
Smarts: Leftover adobo sauce can be frozen in small containers or even in ice cube trays so you can just pop out what you need for future uses.

The Adobo Honey Vinaigrette is a new favorite. I make it to go on salads to take for lunch. This salad combo was also very good.
0 HelpfulLoved the dressing and now I know what to do with my left over Sam's Club rotisserie chicken. Thanks
0 HelpfulVery happy with this. While you can add more veggies, I would definitely say keep the green onions and red bell peppers. I don't think green bell peppers would be as tasty.
0 HelpfulShocked at how the dressing took it from a pretty good salad to a fantastic one! Threw in some parsley that I had in the fridge. Would definitely make again.
0 HelpfulExcellent salad! Will definitely add this to our repertoire. I wasn't sure if I'd like the vinaigrette since it seemed like an odd mix of flavors, but its delicious! Love the spicy kick. I recommend eating this with a french baguette so its a bit more filling and you can scoop up the leftover vinaigrette in your salad bowl. Nom nom!
