This easy chicken salad is a blend of chopped rotisserie chicken, fresh veggies, and a creamy dressing. It’s a quick and healthy lunch idea that’s delicious served in a sandwich, with a side of crackers, or in crisp and crunchy lettuce cups.

Sharing one of my favorites today – this is my go-to chicken salad! This is a great recipe to keep in your rotation when you need some quick, easy, delicious, and nutriitous. Enjoy! XO – Dani
yummy I like your salad I'll try to make this
Thanks for sharing regarding cooking oils again l am learning alot and l am grateful. Chicken salad wow l must try this one.
What oil is good for a person with high cholesterol
Is that ok for a person with high cholesterol?
That looks amazing
I've never had it with greek yogurt or spinach. Time to update my chicken salad
Great looking recipe for chicken salad! Looking forward to trying it. Thanks for the info on oils as well. Also, good to know about shelf life of cooked chicken and the salad.☺️
what about toasted and or sesame oil use?
Is this salad ok for a low carb diet?
Hi and thank you Dani, for all you share. Your one in a million! 💜
That looks so good!!!!!!!
I do appreciate the information so many don't understand how really bad toxic chemicals are used to make oils… organic cold pressed or cold pressed extraction is cleaner and safer especially for young ones!!!
Great video! Love the outtakes at the end. 🤣
I enjoy your videos and I’ve also tried many of your recipes ALL were a hit😋your detox soup is my personal favorite absolutely delicious!
I make my mayo!! Love primal kitchen to..
Delicious, clean, fresh and easy, thank you
Final update. I used gluten free Norwegian crispbread from Trader Joe's
Made your double chocolate cookies last night
Fantastic
Hi Dani 👋,
I have been watching 👀 your videos a lot lately. Although I had been subscribed to your channel, I only watched every now and then. My health has to be my priority as I was diagnosed with Tricompartmental Osteoarthritis. I don't own this and do know that I have to go the holistic way to better health. I have since been really watching and learning that clean living is the route I'm choosing to go. I'm tired of beating myself up and not liking who I have become. I like your approach to weight loss. This route is new to me. (Being kind to myself, Gee what a concept). I thank you so much for putting out this content as I am looking forward to a new way of living, a more healthier life style. Warm thoughts I send your way Raquel 🙋🏻♀️ 🙈 🙉 🙊 🌬 🥑🥥🫒🧅🧄🥦🥬🥒🫑🌶
I love the spinach in it.
Guess who just chopped up her left over chicken? Me. How about doing this with leftover salmon?
Dr.Eric berg.. my guru❤️❤️
Kudos to u dani👏🏽for all ur hard work..
What are your thought on argan oil (as a cooking oil)? I received a bottle as a gift and it was delicious when using it for roasted vegetables. Any other ideas for recipes using it? Thank you.
I so appreciate that you include how long the food will last, I'm always very cautious when it comes to the shelf life of food after it's prepared. So thank you for including that info.
I’ve made quite a few of your recipes and we LOVE them! They’re so good and healthy. Thank you for sharing with us 🤍
I add to my chicken salad…
2- teaspoons of fresh lemon juice
(lemon helps pop the chicken flavor same as with the mustard)👍😋
1- teaspoon mustard
all mayo…
👌👍👏👏👏👏❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻🙏🙏
Looks good. The salad looks good too. Lol
Wow! This tuna recipe is absolutely perfect, the texture looks amazing and the taste must must be marvelous! I would love to try this recipe from an amazing chef like yourself! Keep up the amazing recipes and videos!😋❤️👍
I love your recipes but it would be nice to see the recipe in the box below instead of clicking to a link.
Thank you for the recipe! I was JUST wondering yesterday how to turn my leftover cooked chicken in chicken salad!
Can't wait to try a little greek yogurt in my homemade chicken salad. I love that idea. Your Q&As are very helpful to me, thanks!
I love the Q&A at the end of the video!
That is not a salad, looks like baby food.
Yes to the Q&A at the end of the videos. I know oils are a controversial topic when it comes to healthy eating, but I agree with you that food needs to be enjoyable and adding oil in moderation is part of making many recipes delicious for flavor and texture.
Going to try this for lunch next week. Thanks for sharing!
Yummy
Ooh, that looks so delicious, Dani! Defs gonna try it. I hope you didn't toss that chicken skin away – that's my fave part of the chicken!!
I use tzatziki instead of mayo in my chicken salad. 😋
Yum ! I’m gonna try it !
I’m inspired. I think I am going to use a ripe avocado and Greek yogurt as my fat. I can hardly wait to try it out.
