Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- 1/4 lb diced turkey slices
- 1/4 lb diced turkey pepperoni
- 2/3 cup diced grape tomatoes
- 1/3 cup banana peppers
- 1/2 red onion, sliced thin or diced

- 1–2 tablespoons banana pepper juice from the jar (to taste)
- 1 tsp oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Freshly cracked pepper
- Salt to taste (about 1/4 tsp)
Instructions
- Start by making the dressing. Combine all the dressing ingredients in a bowl or liquid measuring cup. Taste and adjust if needed.
- In a large bowl, combine all of the toppings: shredded rotisserie chicken, diced turkey meats, sliced red onion, diced tomatoes, banana peppers, and cheeses.
- Pour most of the dressing over the bowl of toppings. Toss well to coat everything evenly. If necessary, add more dressing according to your taste preference.
- Store any leftover salad in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- If you have dressing leftover after storing the salad overnight, keep it in a sealed container in the fridge. Add it back to the chicken salad when you're ready to serve for extra flavor.
