1 1/4 cups
(310 ml) iceberg lettuce, shredded
1/2 cup
(125 ml) celery, diced
1/2 cup
(125 ml) mayonnaise
1/8 tsp
(dash) Tabasco© sauce
2 tsp
(10 ml) lemon juice
1/4 tsp
(1 ml) black pepper

  2. Make the dressing in a small bowl. Mix together mayonnaise, Tabasco© sauce, lemon juice and pepper.
  3. Add the dressing to the chicken mixture and stir until well mixed.

Tip: This is a great way to use leftover chicken. Next time you are cooking chicken, plan to cook an extra piece and make this salad for lunch the next day. This recipe can be made with chicken thigh.

Serving Ideas: Sprinkle with paprika for a bit of colour. Serve on a lettuce leaf or use it to fill a pita pocket.
