"One of the best things about a delicious, homemade chicken salad is how versatile it is. Put it on a sandwich or a bed of lettuce, or eat it with crackers or chips. If you don't have time to make chicken salad from scratch, a grocery store salad is a great alternative, as long as it's made by a high-quality brand."
"Because Reser's makes our favorite store-bought coleslaw, we thought the brand's chicken salad would be equally delicious. After all, its label states that the salad is made with chunks of premium, white-meat rotisserie chicken breast. Unfortunately, the chicken tasted more like an unseasoned chicken breast, and its texture was mousse-like and unpleasant. The entire salad had a homogenous texture that was almost like all of the ingredients had been whipped or blended together, making it hard to distinguish any specific flavors or textures."
"Overall, it was one of the strangest chicken salad options, which was made even more regrettable given how expensive it was. A 12-ounce tub of Reser's Rotisserie Chicken Salad costs about $7.99 at Kroger, which is a dollar or two more than the other options we tried. It's not surprising that it only has 2.26 stars on the Kroger website."
Eight store-bought chicken salads purchased at Kroger were compared, and Reser's Rotisserie Chicken Salad ranked lowest. The product label claims chunks of premium white-meat rotisserie chicken breast, but the chicken tasted like unseasoned breast meat. The salad exhibited a mousse-like, homogenous texture resembling whipped or blended ingredients, which masked distinct flavors and textures. The 12-ounce tub retailed for about $7.99 at Kroger, higher than other options. The product holds a low average rating of 2.26 stars on the Kroger website, and customers posted strongly negative reactions.
