Description
A delicious and convenient chicken salad featuring savory meats, creamy dressing, and fresh veggies, perfect for meal prep or potlucks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rotisserie chicken, shredded
- ¼ lb. salami or soppressata, diced
- ¼ lb. pepperoni, diced
- ¼ cup provolone cheese, diced
- ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
- ⅔ cup grape or cherry tomatoes, diced
- ⅓ cup banana peppers, sliced/chopped
- ½ red onion, thinly sliced or finely diced
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1–2 tbsp banana pepper juice, to taste
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
- Salt, about ¼ tsp (adjust as needed)
Instructions
- Whisk the dressing: In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine mayonnaise, Parmesan, red wine vinegar, banana pepper juice, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and lots of freshly cracked pepper. Taste and tweak—add more vinegar if you want extra zip.
- Prep the mix-ins: Shred the rotisserie chicken, dice the salami or soppressata and pepperoni, cube the provolone, crumble the feta, halve or chop the tomatoes, slice the banana peppers, and thin-slice the red onion.
- Combine everything: Toss the chicken, meats, cheeses, tomatoes, peppers, and onion in a large bowl. Pour most of the dressing over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated. Add more dressing if you prefer it saucier.
- Adjust and chill: Taste for seasoning—splash more vinegar or a pinch more salt can brighten the whole bowl. Refrigerate for at least 20–30 minutes if you can; flavors blend beautifully when rested.
- Serve: Scoop with crackers, pile onto toasted croissants or rolls, or serve with vegetable dippers.
Notes
This salad keeps well in the refrigerator for 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container. For best results, store the dressing separately until ready to serve.
