Miso-Ginger Chicken Salad
For this super-simple, flavor-packed salad, we dressed the shredded meat from a rotisserie chicken with a tangy, gingery miso-based dressing. Sliced cucumber and a generous dose of herbs add freshness, and slivered almonds bring a pleasing crunch. One 3-pound rotisserie chicken will yield about 3 cups of shredded meat. The dressing can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 4 days.

Tip
Don’t use the dressing immediately after blending. Allowing it to stand for at least 30 minutes lets the flavors meld.

A change from boring chicken salad

Delicious alternative to mayo based chicken salad!
I loved this recipe because it doesn't use mayo which I'm not fond of. I had to sub a few items due to (lack of) availability, but it still came out delicious. I had to use brown rice miso instead of white miso, brown sugar instead of honey, and celery instead of cucumber, but YUM! I used a rotisserie chicken from a local organic farm. Also, I don't have a blender but my hand-held immersion blender worked just fine.

Old to Bold Chicken Salad
Delicious dressing to serve with this chicken salad. I did add a chopped yellow pepper and served with jasmine rice. Both my husband and I loved it.
At the moment I don't have a blender, would it work if I used a food processor for the dressing?
