Chopped Chicken & Sweet Potato Salad

This easy salad recipe allows for a wonderful use of leftover cooked chicken. Look for escarole in the produce section near the leafy greens; if you can't find it, you can use romaine instead.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups coarsely chopped escarole or romaine lettuce
  • ½ cup cooked diced sweet potato
  • 3 ounces shredded cooked chicken
  • ¼ cup sliced apple
  • 2 tablespoons apple-cider vinaigrette (see Tip)
  • ¼ cup chopped avocado
  • 2 tablespoons roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
  • ½ ounce low-fat Cheddar cheese, cubed

Directions

  1. Toss escarole (or romaine), sweet potato, chicken, and apple with vinaigrette; place on a 9-inch plate.

  2. Top with avocado, sunflower seeds, and Cheddar.
