This tasty salad is perfect for evenings when you’re looking for a quick, no-fuss meal. Pungent lemon juice and zest stirred into the dressing adds an extra dimension of tantalizing fresh flavor and marries beautifully with the tomatoes, parsley and shallots. When making the dressing, it will be easier to grate the zest from the lemon first before juicing it. Hand-shred chicken from a store-bought rotisserie chicken or from any leftover chicken in your fridge that needs to be used up. Serve with crackers or pita crisps to complete the meal or spoon into tender lettuce leaves to make wraps.
