Chef’s Notes:

You can use leftover barbecued chicken for this salad if you need to save time.The way we like to serve this salad is to place the barbecued chicken on top of the greens. Then we can use less, and the chicken doesn’t get lost in the leaves of lettuce.Make sure the lettuce is very dry and that the cucumbers are sliced thin. Their cool, crisp flavor and texture are a nice complement to the spicy chicken.
