You can keep things light when cooking in the summer too, with a warm salad. This is a great way to use leftover rotisserie chicken, or if you have extra pieces from a previous meal.

  • Kosher salt
  • 1 pound baby new potatoes
  • 1 (2 1/2-pound) rotisserie chicken
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped dill
  • 3 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Add potatoes, cover, and steam until just tender, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut breast meat from chicken, remove and discard skin, and slice on the bias into 1/2″ slices. Remove legs from carcass, remove and discard skin, and slice meat off bones into 1/2″ slices.

Whisk mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, mustard, pepper, and 1/4 tsp. salt in a medium bowl.

Add asparagus and chicken slices to potatoes in steamer, cover, and steam until asparagus is crisp-tender and chicken is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Transfer potatoes, asparagus, and chicken to a platter or plates and drizzle with dressing. Top with watercress and mint and serve with lemon wedges alongside.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1584215403674{margin-top: 25px !important;}”][vc_column][vc_separator color=”custom” border_width=”3″ accent_color=”#ffffff”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
