Ingredients
2 cups shredded cooked chicken (rotisserie)
1/2 cup halal-certified salami, finely chopped
1/2 cup halal-certified pepperoni, finely chopped
1/2 cup grated provolone cheese
1/2 cup chopped banana peppers (in brine), drained
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
1 tbsp banana pepper brine
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Combine chicken, halal meats, provolone, banana peppers, and red onion in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, banana pepper brine, and parmesan cheese until smooth.
Add dressing to the chicken mixture; gently fold to combine.
Chill for 1-2 hours before serving to allow flavors to meld.
Serve on toasted bread, with crackers, or by itself as a cold salad.
Notes
Halal-certified meats ensure compliance with dietary restrictions. Replace red wine vinegar with apple cider vinegar for alcohol-free flavor.
Use store-bought halal salami and pepperoni if available.
Adjust tanginess by adding more banana pepper brine.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
