Steps

Step 1

Mix together the ingredients for the sauce in a bowl. Season to taste with lime juice and ginger. Add tablespoons of water to the sauce if it is too thick. Place the sauce in an airtight container.

Step 2

Peel the skin off the Rotisserie chicken and add white meat to a cutting board. Chop up the meat into small pieces, about 1/2-inch.

Step 3

On another cutting board or sheet, add the ingredients for the salad. Using a large chef’s knife, chop up the entire salad together, continually folding the salad after each chop.

Step 4

To a large bowl, add the ingredients for the salad and the chopped chicken. Toss everything together.

Step 5

For meal prep, keep the salad separate from the sauce. For meal time, pour a few tablespoons over the salad in a large bowl and toss everything together.

Step 6

Garnish and enjoy!
