{Leftover} Summer Chopped Chicken Salad
with prosciutto / cucumbers / cantaloupe / pistachios
We featured this salad last in 2019, but it's such a seasonal favorite in our community that it just didn't feel like midsummer without it. Best of all, thanks to leftover chicken from Monday, it's a breeze to throw this one together.
Smarts: If making Thursday's burgers, don't forget to set aside a few large lettuce leaves before chopping the lettuce for tonight.
