Chicken Salad with Cumin and Parsley

• Recipe by Quick From Scratch Soups & Salads

All of our chicken salads make great quick dinners, atop a bed of lettuce as here or inside a sandwich. If you don't have any leftover cooked chicken and don't have time to cook, store-bought rotisserie chicken is just the thing.
