Pistachio Chicken Salad


A few people have called about the recipe for the salad we had at Bridget's shower...I also made this for Chelsea's bridal shower. It's really easy (or else I wouldn't make it)! I'm serving it again this weekend for another baby shower I'm throwing - it's great for feeding large groups.

1 premade roasted whole chicken (you can find these in the deli section of most markets, as well as Costco)
2-3 heads of red leaf lettuce, depending on their size
1 1/2 cups of pistachios, shelled
3 cups of seedless red grapes
1/2 container of blue cheese crumbles
1 packet of Good Seasons Italian dressing
Red Wine Vinegar (for dressing)
Canola Oil (for dressing)

Wash the lettuce, tear, and dry
Cut out breast of chicken and meat off legs and slice into bite size pieces
Chop pistachios
Cut grapes in half
Combine above into a large bowl
Follow directions on dressing packet
Add bleu cheese crumbles and dressing as needed, toss
Serves 10 - 12
