Ingredients
Instructions
- Wash and dry all produce. Pat chicken dry with paper towels and dice into ½-inch pieces. Dice tomato into ½-inch pieces. Core, deseed and dice green pepper into ¼-inch pieces. Trim and discard root end from lettuce; separate leaves.
- In a large bowl, whisk together Greek vinaigrette, mayonnaise, garlic powder and a drizzle of olive oil (use a large drizzle for 4 servings). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Add diced chicken, tomato and green pepper to the bowl with the dressing. Toss until everything is well coated. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Divide lettuce leaves among plates. Spoon the chicken salad mixture into the lettuce cups. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
Recipe Tips
For extra crunch, add diced cucumber or red onion.
If you prefer a lighter dressing, reduce mayonnaise or use Greek yogurt.
Make ahead: Prepare the chicken salad (without lettuce) and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Assemble just before serving.

What can I use instead of baby lettuce?
Romaine hearts or butter lettuce are excellent substitutes. They have sturdy leaves that hold the filling well.
Is this recipe gluten-free?
