rotisserie chicken salad w/ holiday grapes, fresh herbs & toasted raw almonds



rotisserie chicken is good for many food dishes, but one of my favorite things to make w/ leftover chicken is a delicious, lightened-up version of your basic mayonaise-laiden chicken salad.  i'm by no means a "mayo phobe," but i do believe a little can go a long way in most cases.  i like to serve my creation on romaine leaves and wrap them all up before they're devoured in 3, maybe 4, bites.  perfect for a quick snack or a light lunch on any day of the week.

recipe: makes 8-10 servings

ingredients
rotisserie chicken, pulled
mayo (a little bit)
holiday grapes (or any big, juicy & firm grapes)
craisins
toasted raw almonds
shallot
fresh thyme
fresh cilantro
hot & spicy mustard
white vinegar
cock sauce
s & p

mix everything together except the pulled chicken.  toss the chicken in last and mix gently to coat.

serve on romaine leaves, a bed of spinach, crackers or your favorite piece of bread.  or you can eat it by the spoonful...i may have done this a time or two.
