The ultimate chicken salad

Forget everything you know about chicken salad. This version doesn’t resemble the mayonnaise glop that most of us are familiar with; instead, it’s a summer dinner for four that doesn’t involve any cooking (save for boiling water). It’s also the ultimate rosé dinner.

Grocery List

1 whole roasted chicken, about 3 ½ to 4 lbs (a roasted grocery store chicken is perfect), cut into pieces

16 oz thin noodles, cooked (Asian soup or rice noodles are good, but any long thin noodle works)

4 c shredded lettuce

Assorted raw salad vegetables, such as cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers, red onions and radishes

Best-quality vinaigrette

Alligator Café

Angelo’s Italian Grill

Bangkok City Barbec’s BG’s Classic Subs

Good-2-Go-Taco

Lake House

Mexico Lindo

Sali’s Pizza & Pasta Terilli’s Trinity Hall Irish Pub
