I always make this chunky chicken salad recipe from leftover roast chicken.  Since this chicken salad is chunky (as opposed to creamy), it doesn’t have to be spread on the sandwich – chunky chicken salad can be a stand-alone dish.

There are three options on how to eat this chunky chicken salad: (1) by itself (2) on a sandwich (3) wrapped in a tortilla

Chunky chicken salad recipe has only 4 ingredients, so it’s really easy to make.  If you don’t have a pickle, just omit it – this way the chunky chicken salad will have just 3 ingredients, and will still taste great!

Ingredients for Chunky Chicken Salad Recipe:

1 cup leftover chicken meat
2 eggs, hard-boiled
1 pickle
2 tbsp mayo

Directions How To Make Chunky Chicken Salad:

Chop the chicken meat.  Peel and chop the hard-boiled eggs.  Mince the pickle.

Put chicken, eggs and pickle in a bowl and add the mayo.  Mix everything until combined.  If necessary, add salt and pepper to taste.

I went to Trader Joe’s and saw that unusual lettuce sold in packages.  It had tiny cute crisp green leaves.  The name of the lettuce on the package was Mache Lettuce, and the package also noted the lettuce’s alternate name – Lamb’s Lettuce.  The package with lamb’s lettuce also had an orange sticker that said “Great With Avocadoes”.  So I came back from Trader Joe’s with the mache lamb’s lettuce and a couple of avocadoes, ready to make a yummy new salad!

Here’s a picture of Trader Joe’s package of Mache (Lamb’s) Lettuce:

Ingredients For The Salad:

Mache (Lamb’s) Lettuce
Avocado
Balsamic Vinegar
Olive Oil

How To Make A Salad

Whisk together balsamic vinegar and olive oil to make a dressing (3 parts oil to 1 part vinegar).  In a bowl, toss the mache lettuce with the dressing.  Put the lettuce on a plate.

Peel and pit the avocado.  Thinly slice the avocado.  Put the avocado slices on top of the lettuce.
