Chicken Salad Lettuce Wrap

Cultural Context

Chicken salad has become a staple in American cuisine, often enjoyed as a light meal or picnic dish. Traditionally made with shredded chicken and a creamy dressing, it can be customized with various add-ins like fruits and nuts. The lettuce wrap variation offers a refreshing, low-carb alternative that highlights the salad's flavors while providing a crunchy texture. Today, chicken salad is popular in many forms, from sandwiches to wraps, appealing to health-conscious eaters and busy families alike.

1

To a large mixing bowl, add mayonnaise and/or greek yogurt, dijon mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir until combined.

2

Add chicken, diced apple, halved grapes, chopped walnuts, diced celery, minced shallot, and thinly sliced scallions to the bowl. Fold the ingredients until they are evenly coated in the dressing. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl while folding to ensure you incorporate all of the dressing.

3

Nestle the lettuce leaves on a serving platter, creating little cups. Top each lettuce cup with a scoop of chicken salad and spread it out slightly. Sprinkle with fresh cracked black pepper. Serve and enjoy!
