Notes
The exact quantities were not displayed in the reel and have been estimated from the visible ingredient proportions.
Dry the cucumber thoroughly before mixing to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
Use completely cooled cooked chicken.
Add salt gradually because cottage cheese and rotisserie chicken may already contain plenty of sodium.
For meal prep, store the cucumber separately and mix it in shortly before serving.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
