Reinvent leftover chicken in this Chinese-influenced salad. It's a cinch to toss together and a great use for leftover cooked chicken. The red bell peppers, carrots, and snow peas add beautiful color and delicious crunch. We recommend serving it over mixed greens or spooned into large lettuce leaves to incorporate even more veggies. Try it as make-ahead, packable lunch. You can whip it together in just a few minutes and store in the fridge for up to a day. Just be sure to store the lettuce and salad in separate containers to keep the lettuce crisp. Accompany it with a side of sweet grapes or pineapple for guilt-free dessert.
