Grilled Chicken Salad with Raspberries, Walnuts and Artichoke Hearts

More often than not, I eat leftovers for lunch.  But I get bored eating the leftovers exactly as I ate them before.  So I challenge myself to come up with new dishes using my leftovers.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED, I say to myself as I start to create my lunch each day.

Leftover grilled chicken was the start of this recipe.  You can use the meat from a store-bought rotisserie chicken, or even roast some up on your own.  Maybe I’ll do a future post on THAT, now that I think about it.

I also had a ginormous tub of raspberries in my fridge that I picked up from Whole Foods over the weekend, which were on sale.  I always keep a batch of my homemade balsamic vinaigrette on hand.  And artichoke hearts, goat cheese and walnuts are also staples at my house.

So after standing with the fridge open for a moment, the inspiration struck, and this beautiful salad was created by me…your humble hungry foodie! 🙂
