Layered Italian Chicken Salad image

This layered lettuce salad makes a beautiful presentation in a glass bowl. Once the lettuce is in the bowl, place the sliced eggs against the inside perimeter of the bowl for added interest. When you are ready to serve, toss the salad in another extra-large bowl with the dressing of your choice--Italian or balsamic vinaigrette, or creamy Italian.

Next time, I'm going to add some chopped bacon to the salad. I think that would be a great addition.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead. It worked out great and the salad was still very creamy.

I love the addition of sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts. They add so much flavor and texture to the salad.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have a few pieces of chicken left over after dinner, and this is the perfect way to use them up.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was tender and juicy, and the dressing was flavorful without being too heavy. Served it on a bed of lettuce and it was a delicious and refreshing meal.

This layered Italian chicken salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the combination of flavors and textures. I especially liked the crunch from the almonds and the creaminess from the avocado. Will definitely be making this again.
