Delightful Chicken Salad

As you may have read in a previous post, I love using leftover chicken to make chicken salad. Last week Lizzy decided to put a whole rotisserie chicken from the grocery store in my fridge, and I knew right away that it would make a great chicken salad. You really just need shredded up chicken and dressing, like mayonnaise, but ideally you'll want to include celery, cucumbers, maybe chopped onion, a little spicy mustard, etc. The combination I whipped up today came out really well, so I want to document the recipe.

• half a grocery store rotisserie chicken (I used the dark meat) OR grill a large chicken breast
• some finely chopped red onion (~ 1/4 C.)
• some finely chopped banana peppers (~ 1/4 C.)
• 1-2 Tablespoons of the banana pepper liquid from the jar
• half a sweet red pepper
• half a cucumber
• 1/2 Tablespoon hot sauce
• 1/2 Talespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
• 1/2 C. mayonnaise 
• 2-3 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Mix together and serve on rye bread topped with cucumber slices.
