Chicken and Egg Salad
Which came first, the chicken or the egg? No answers are needed for this tasty lunch, which just happens to use both! This is the kind of salad I love bringing to work with me: it's
nutritious, packed with protein and keeps me full for at least a couple hours after I've had it.
The only key is to
make sure you bring the dressing in a separate container and drizzle it over your salad at the last minute. This will prevent the lettuce leaves from wilting and keep the radishes nice and crisp. I also like to leave the egg whole and cut it right before I'm about to dig in -- it keeps it fresh and makes the end-result feel like you just put it together.
