So track season has just started for my daughter five days a week and needless to say I have found myself in need of some fast, easy food options for families.  That’s why I fell in love with this recipe when I found it on the back of my bag of romaine lettuce heads.  I adapted it a bit and made it my own – which I would encourage you to do too, if you decide to give this recipe a try.  I love how it turned out so much I’ve eaten it probably 5-10 times in the month since I’ve found it and I’m thinking you’ll love it too!

I eyeball proportions when I make this, but I generally use two cans of chicken, one bunch of grapes, one celery stalk, and two squirts of mayo.  Then I add spices to taste.  This recipe also doubles and triples well to feed a crowd!  Bon appetite  😉
