This No Mayo Grinder Chicken Salad is must make for lunch. It takes 10 minutes of effort to make and is a dream to prep for the week. Serve it up with some crackers, toast or even lettuce cups.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken salad:

  • 2 cups rotisserie chicken shredded
  • 1/4 lb. salami or soppressata diced
  • 1/4 lb. pepperoni, diced
  • 1/4 cup provolone cheese, diced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2/3 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/3 cup banana peppers

Dressing:

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (I use full fat usually)
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1–2 tablespoons banana pepper juice from the jar to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Freshly cracked pepper to taste
  • about 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken, diced salami or soppressata, pepperoni, provolone, feta, tomatoes, and banana peppers to a large bowl.
  2. Add the cottage cheese, parmesan, red wine vinegar, banana pepper juice, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to a blender or food processor.
  3. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  4. Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture and stir until everything is well coated.
  5. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more banana pepper juice for extra tang or more black pepper for a little bite.
  6. Serve immediately over crackers, on toast, or in lettuce cups—or refrigerate and enjoy later.

Notes

*Store in fridge for 5 days.
