This Cucumber Dill Rotisserie Chicken Salad combines tender rotisserie chicken with creamy Greek yogurt, fresh herbs, and crunchy vegetables for a refreshing and protein-packed meal. The cucumber and dill bring a fresh, crisp flavor, while the Greek yogurt keeps the salad light yet creamy. The Dijon mustard and lemon juice add a touch of tang, making it the perfect balance of flavors. This salad is ideal for lunch, a light dinner, or meal prep for the week ahead. You can also substitute rotisserie chicken with grilled chicken if preferred for a lighter version.
Ingredients
3 cups rotisserie chicken, chopped and chilled
2/3 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Juice of 1/2 lemon
1/3 cup green onion, chopped
3/4 cup seedless cucumber, peeled and chopped
1/2 cup celery, chopped
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1 teaspoon (dried) dill
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped rotisserie chicken, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, green onion, cucumber, celery, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper.
Stir until all ingredients are well combined and evenly coated.
If preparing ahead of time, store the salad in an airtight container in the fridge. For the freshest taste, add the cucumber just before serving to prevent excess moisture.
Serve chilled on a bed of greens, with toasted whole-grain bread, or as a sandwich filling on a whole grain or hamburger bun.
