Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your Strawberry Poppy Seed Rotisserie Chicken Salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it can last for up to three days.
- If you'd like to enjoy the salad warm, gently reheat the shredded rotisserie chicken before mixing it with the other ingredients to keep the flavors lively without overcooking.
- Serve this refreshing salad on a bed of mixed greens for a vibrant lunch or pile it high on your favorite bread for a delicious sandwich that’s perfect for picnics.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of lemon juice to the dressing; it not only brightens the salad but also enhances the sweetness of the strawberries.
