Ingredients

SALAD:

2 cups coarsely chopped skinned, boneless, cooked chicken

1 cup chopped tomato (I seeded mine)

1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion

1/3 cup sliced fresh basil

2 (16 oz) cans cannellini beans or other white bean, drained and rinsed

DRESSING:

1/4 cup red wine vinegar

2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

1 Tbs fresh lemon juice

2 tsp Dijon mustard

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

2 garlic cloves, minced

Directions

To prepare salad:

Place first five ingredients in a large bowl; stir gently to combine.

To prepare dressing:

Combine all dressing ingredients and whisk together.

Drizzle dressing over salad, tossing gently to combine.

(I chilled this before I served this, but I suppose you could serve it right away.)

TIP: One whole cooked chicken will yield approx. 2 cups of meat. You can either buy a chicken precooked or (what I do is) put a whole chicken in the crockpot the day before. Set it on top of a meat rack or balls of aluminum foil. Cook on High 4 to 6 hours or on Low 8 to 10 hours. The skin doesn't look great, but you don't need the skin!
