Name: Chopped Chicken & Sweet Potato Salad
Total time: 10 min
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

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.
