For lunch today, I consulted my meal plan and noted that on Friday, Mike and I were scheduled to eat the BBQ Chicken Chop Chop Salad – a HungryGirl recipe. Unfortunately, I was trapped in New Orleans waiting for the Houston airport to reopen so I could get home. Therefore, no salad for me (I had this “deli” salad) and Mike had a BBQ chicken wrap. I decided to just swap things up and make the salad today as I had a huge bag of lettuce needing to be eaten.
I really liked this salad. It was quick and easy to put together and is a great use of left over Diet Coke Chicken. I didn’t have red onions or jicama so I had to do without. It wasn’t a huge issue but I did notice that they would have provided a nice crunch to the salad. We topped ours off with Ranch dressing – Full fat for Mike and Spritzer Ranch for me. Very tasty.
