Perfect for nights when cooking feels like a cruel joke, this salad screams “I’ve got my life together” without actually requiring any effort. Sweet cranberries, nutty hazelnuts, and fresh herbs make each bite a flavor mic drop. Pile it on ciabatta, toss it over greens, or eat it straight from the bowl while giving your fridge the side-eye. We don’t judge.
Fast, fresh, and ridiculously delicious, it’s the no-cook meal that makes you look like a culinary genius without breaking a sweat.

2 cups of chicken (from rotisserie or poached chicken breasts)

Recipe Note

- We used hazelnuts, but this would also work well with almonds
- Substitute the parsley & basil with cilantro, thyme or tarragon.
