Chopped Salad
with leftover chicken
Tuesday's chicken gives this chopped salad a lot of texture, flavor, and heartiness. And because it's done, this entree salad comes together in a flash.
Smarts: Pack this up for lunch in a jar. Put the dressing at the bottom and stack ingredients with the lettuce on top so it doesn't touch the dressing (we don't want it to wilt!).
