• Diced or Shredded Cooked Chicken (3 cups): Rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe as well as leftover grilled chicken. Both light and dark meat work well for this chicken salad.
• Shredded Cheese (1 cup): Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Colby, or Colby Jack are great choices.
• Diced Green Onions (3, greens and white parts): Adds a pop of color and a fresh, mild onion flavor without overpowering the other ingredients.
• Diced Celery (1 cup): Adds a fresh crunch that contrasts nicely with the softer chicken.
• Slivered Almonds (1/2 cup): Adds another crunch element to the salad.
• Daisy Creamy Ranch Dip (3/4 cup): Perfectly seasoned with herbs, garlic, and tangy notes, the ranch dip adds a bright, herby kick that complements rotisserie chicken and fresh mix-ins. It also creates a smooth, velvety dressing that coats every bite without feeling overly heavy.
• Salt & Pepper (to taste): The classic seasoning combo that elevates the flavors of savory foods.
• Crumbled Bacon (1/4 cup): Lends a smoky, salty, and savory boost that complements the chicken.

• Use freshly shredded rotisserie chicken for the best texture and flavor.
• Any type of shredded cheese will work well in this recipe. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
• Diced purple onion may be used in place of green onion for stronger, pepperier flavor.
• Cucumbers or water chestnuts may be used in place of celery for a similar pop of crunchiness.
• Likewise, other chopped nuts may be used in place of the almonds. Pecans, walnuts, and sunflower seeds are all good choices.
• Sweet enhancements could include chopped apples, chopped pears, grapes, or raisins.
• Chill the salad for 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld together.
• Brighten it up with a squeeze of lemon juice or fresh herbs like dill or parsley.
