[Leftover] Summer Chopped Chicken Salad

Thanks to leftover chicken from Monday, this fresh entree salad is a breeze to throw together. It's just the right balance of sweet, savory, and crisp.
Smarts: If making Thursday's burgers, don't forget to set aside a few large lettuce leaves before chopping the lettuce for tonight.
