Notes

Lime juice can replace lemon juice if desired.

2-3 cooked and shredded chicken breasts can replace the rotisserie chicken.

The flavors will build the longer this salad chills in the refrigerator but is still delicious when consumed right after making.

Sour cream may be used in place of yogurt. 

For a less mayo-y flavor, you could do ½ and ½ mayo and yogurt or sour cream.
