Weight Watchers Chicken Salad Chick
California Pizza Kitchen does a great chopped salad. All the ingredients are cut into bite-sized bits and tossed with a tangy vinaigrette so that each forkful contains several tastes and textures, and each bite is different. Last night I raided the fridge and found carrots, chicken, romaine, cucumber and avocado to make my own. I cut everything into ribbons and tossed it all with my favorite bottled salad dressing. It was an easy, refreshing springtime dinner.
First I shredded the romaine. I left the bunches together, then sliced into thin strips to shred. Then I rinsed and dried the shredded romaine in my salad spinner. I put the romaine in a bowl big enough to hold all the ingredients.
Next I prepared the cucumber and carrots. I used a peeler to shred the carrots down to nubs, but that technique didn't work so well for the cucumber. For my second cucumber I just julienned it as small as I could. I cut off 1 side of the cucumber to have a flat surface on the bottom (so it wouldn't roll), then sliced thinly, rolled the whole thing on its side (1/4 roll) and sliced again. That worked better.
I diced the avocado a bit smaller than I would have, but I kind of wanted it to fall apart a bit to add some creaminess to the dressing. I also used some leftover rotisserie chicken. I put everything together in a big bowl and tossed it with plenty of bottled vinaigrette.
Todd and I enjoyed this salad, with its crisp vegetables and creamy avocado, but for the kids I left out some of the ingredients so they could eat them separate.
