Healthy Chicken Salad 

Roasted chicken and fresh cooked chickpeas taste so good together.  Thrown on top of a mound of fresh vegetables and the meal is complete!

HERE'S ALL IT TAKES

• 1 roasted chicken breast
• mixed green salad
• chopped broccoli
• 1/2 carrot shredded
  
• canned or home cooked chickpeas
• your favorite salad dressing

I've learned something about making individual salads for future meals.  Stacking the ingredients is key to keeping it all fresh looking.

Using a tall container, like a 2 cup storage container with a screwtop lid.
Fill the container in this order:

• salad dressing
• meat
• shredded vegetables
• chopped vegetables
• lettuce/mixed greens

When it's time to eat, turn contents over straight onto serving plate and toss.  The salad will be as fresh as if you had just tossed it together.  Keeping the dressing on bottom and away from the fresh greens helps prevent wilting.

Give it try! It opens up more opportunities to TAKE a fresh salad to lunch, instead of buying a pre-made salad that doesn't have all your favorite toppings.  AND you can keep your lunch money in your pocket!
