Chicken Salpicon - recipe

Chicken Salad ( this is a great dish for leftover chicken )

2 breast of chicken boiled and shredded
3 potatoes like yukon gold boiled and cut into bite size pieces
1 1/2 cups of green beans parboiled
1 carrot parboiled
1 small onion julienned
2 tomatoes chopped
1 cup of lettuce preferably green leaf chopped
oil and vinegar dressing ( simple vinegar red or white mixed with some olive oil )
salt and pepper to taste ( sea salt and fresh ground pepper if possible )

note - if the oil and vinegar mixture is too tart a little bit of sugar added rounds out the flavour

1. Chop the green beans and carrots into bite size pieces
2. In a bowl mix the shredded chicken, potatoes, green beans, carrots, tomatoes and onions.
3. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
4. Add the dressing and let it coat all the ingredients

You can make this ahead and keep in refrigerator just before serving mix with the chopped lettuce.
