CHICKEN SALAD

Lilys Cooking and Home
Most grocery stores sells Rotisserie Chicken on a bargain.  Here is a great way you can use some of the left over chicken to make a salad the fallowing day, you can also turn it into a chicken salad sandwich and take it to work or pack it into kids school lunches.I do not recommend using canned chicken. I can guarantee the flavor is just not the same.
Prep Time 5 minutes
Course Salad, Side Dish
Servings 4 people

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2  Cups Rotisserie Chicken
  • 1/3 Thinly Sliced Purple Cabbage
  • 6 Brussels sprouts thinly Sliced
  • 2 Garlic cloves pressed
  • 1/3 purple onion thinly sliced
  • 3 tbsp chopped cilantro or parsley
  • 1 tsp salt and pepper
  • 1/2 lemon juice squeezed
  • 1 tbsp old fashioned mustard
  • 1/2 mayo

Instructions
 

  • Chop Rotisserie chicken into small pieces and set a side in a deep mixing bowl.
  • Thinly slice Purple Cabbage add to the mixing bowl.
  • Thinly slice Brussels Sprouts add to the mixing bowl.
  • chop some fresh herbs of your choice. I like to use cilantro
  • Thinly slice some Purple Onions add to the bowl.
  • To make the salad dressing in a jar or a cup add mayo, old fashioned mustard, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, pressed or finely chopped garlic. Mix all the ingredients really well together and pour over the salad.
  • Toss the salad with the dressing till everything is well coated.
  • This salad can be made in advance, or is a good salad to refrigerate without getting soggy.
  • You can turn it into a sandwich or a wrap and take it for a lunch to go.
