A vibrant rotisserie chicken salad with a punchy sesame-miso dressing, fresh vegetables, and crispy spring onion oil for deep, savory flavor. Perfect as a light but satisfying main meal.

Ingredients

  • 1–2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 spring onions, cut into thirds
  • 1 tbsp Japanese or normal mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp white miso paste (see recipe tips)
  • 1 tbsp chilli oil
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1½ tsp granulated sugar
  • 1 garlic clove, grated
  • 15g/½oz fresh root ginger, peeled and grated
  • 2–3 limes, juice only
  • ½ cooked rotisserie chicken
  • lemon wedges, to serve
  • ½ cucumber, sliced into rounds
  • 1 large celery stick, thinly sliced
  • handful cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 Little Gem or Cos lettuce, sliced
  • ½ white onion, thinly sliced
  • ½ red onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp kimchi (optional)
  • bunch fresh chives, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the spring onion thirds and sear for 3–4 minutes until charred and lightly burnt. Turn off the heat and set aside.
  2. In a large salad bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, miso paste, chilli oil, sesame seeds, sesame oil, fish sauce, sugar, garlic, ginger, and lime juice until smooth. Stir in the charred spring onions along with 1 tablespoon of the infused oil from the pan.
  3. Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized strips, including the skin for extra flavor.
  4. Add the chicken, cucumber, celery, cherry tomatoes, spring onions, lettuce, white onion, red onion, cabbage, kimchi (if using), and chives into the bowl with the dressing.
  5. Toss everything thoroughly until well coated. Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.

Notes

  • For extra heat, add more chilli oil or fresh sliced chilies.
  • Rotisserie chicken can be replaced with leftover roast chicken or poached chicken breast.
  • Best served fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 1 day.
  • Add crushed peanuts or crispy shallots for extra texture.
