Ginger Chicken Lettuce Cup Salad
I love light and fresh salads that double has a protein filled lunch.
This salad is just that. With the ginger, shallot and sesame flavors – I just wish I had some bread.
The chicken soaks up the dressing and all the raw vegetables add the right amount of crunch and texture you want in a salad.
Dress it all up.
I like to dress the shredded chicken before I place it on the greens.
THEN you can spoon more of the ginger dressing on top of the greens.
The dressing coats the chicken perfectly – makes it stay even more moist and delicious.
Top it all off with freshly ground black pepper.
