All of the fruit except the pears can be prepared 8 hours ahead of time. For the cleanest presentation, keep fruits separate until 10 minutes before serving.
Using a rotisserie chicken makes this salad a snap to put together. It’s easiest to shred the meat when it’s warm but not hot. If using directly from the rotisserie, let the chicken cool until you can handle it; if pulling the chicken out of the refrigerator, reheat it slightly in the microwave. To serve this dish as a starter or side salad, simply leave out the chicken and serve smaller portions.
