Save time with rotisserie chicken. I love grabbing a rotisserie chicken from the grocery store every once in a while to shortcut a dinner or two. Starting with prepared chicken means this recipe comes together super quickly.
Make it yours. Maybe you feel strongly that celery or apple or grapes must be a component in chicken salad. Then definitely add it! I often add twists when making this recipe; I added pickled carrots from a jar of pickled jalapenos once and it added a nice spicy acidic bite.
