Mushroom Chicken Salad on Lettuce Heart

This is one of my favorite salad and it is a "quick fix" option. It is incredibly fast, simple and packed with nutrients. I find it much more appetizing  and appealing than the traditional chicken salad.

Inspired by the lettuce wrap that my sister orders every time at CPK, I placed the caesar chicken salad on the neatly cut lettuce heart that will make a perfect party "finger food" for any occasion. You will need:

  • 1 cup cooked chicken (pulled)
  • 1/2 cup mushroom  (diced)
  • 1/4 cup crushed cauliflower
  • 1/8 cup diced tomatoes (diced)
  • 1/4 cup diced cucumber (diced)
  • 1/4 cup olives (diced)
  • 1 lime
  • 4 tbsp caesar dressing
  • 4 romaine lettuce hearts (Halved)
  • 2 tbsp parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp olive oil
  1. Saute the mushroom for 3-5 minutes in a small saucepan.
  2. Combine tomatoes, cucumber, olives, crushed cauliflower and sauteed mushroom in a medium mixing bowl.
  3. Add  the caesar salad dressing and mix well. 
  4. Half the romaine lettuce hearts, so that you have eight altogether. 
  5. Spoon the chicken salad into the halved romaine lettuce hearts and garnish with the parmesan cheese.
