Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium red onion
  • 0.25 cup apple vinegar or lime juice
  • 1.5 pounds potatoes boiled, peeled, and diced
  • 0.75 cup diced bell peppers
  • 3 cups supermarket rotisserie chicken shredded finely
  • 0.75 cup thinly-sliced celery stalk
  • 1 cup mayonnaise or more, to taste

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Chef's Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Peeler

Method
 

  1. Add vinegar to the bowl with the onion and let it rest for 10 minutes. Discard the vinegar. Combine the onion and the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. If you won't serve right away, cover and keep chilled for later. This salad keeps refrigerated for about a day. Once chilled, serve right out of the fridge so the mayonnaise doesn't spoil.

Notes

  • The potatoes should be boiled: beforehand with a teaspoon of salt added to the water, or use leftover boiled potatoes.
  • Watch the salt: Both mayo and rotisserie chicken already have salt, so taste before adding more.
