What Chicken To Use In Salad Recipe
You can use any type of shredded or chopped chicken. If you have a rotisserie chicken you can shred it and then use for the salad. This is a wonderful way to prep chicken ahead of time and has it in the freezer. Then just pull out your thawed or chopped chicken and then toss together for your salad.
I love creating meals like this where you can literally throw it together in minutes if you have pre-cooked chicken on hand you bought or prepped earlier.
Variations To Salad
- Ingredients | Feel free to change up the vegetables you add into the salad. Consider adding fresh slices of onions, peppers, etc.
- Lettuce | Change up the type of lettuce you use. Reach for spinach leaves, iceberg, or get creative and mix the lettuce varieties together for a fun look and texture.
- Dressing | Play around with dressings and find one that you like the best. This homemade dressing is one of our family’s favorites. We enjoy the citrus with a hint of sweetness.
Why Does My Lettuce Wilt So Fast Or Discolor
I use a knife that is meat for lettuce. You will find if you use a stainless steel knife to cut your lettuce it will brown your lettuce a whole lot faster. You can buy a lettuce knife that is meat to slice lettuce without browning or wilting it.
We also use a lettuce spinner to wash my lettuce. It is great and if you make salads a lot you might want to buy one of these. They are pretty awesome to have and my kids love to help whip the greens in it.
