Recipe variations

Add fresh herbs. For extra freshness, add chopped fresh dill, parsley, or cilantro to the salad.
Mix up the seasonings. Ground spices, like curry powder, smoked paprika, or cumin, give the salad more complex flavors.
Give it a spicy kick. A dash of your favorite hot sauce is always welcome!
More add-in ideas. Add grapes, dried cranberries, or raisins for sweetness, chopped nuts or seeds for crunch, or diced avocado for creaminess. Or, make this a Waldorf-style chicken salad by adding chopped apples and walnuts to the mix.
Pasta chicken salad version. You can make this rotisserie chicken salad even more filling by adding cooked and cooled pasta, like macaroni or penne.
