This Chicken Salad is inspired by a recipe stolen from a Rylstone Cafe. The beauty of this recipe is that you can use cooked chicken that you already have, or you can cook it from scratch if you prefer. The juicy and tender chicken pairs well with the creaminess of the avocado/mango, the crunchiness of the lettuce, and the tanginess of the lemon and mustard dressing. This salad is ideal for a light and healthy lunch or dinner.

1.	Place the chopped lettuce in a mixing bowl.
2.	Add the torn or cut chicken and sliced or cubed avocado/mango on top.
3.	Sprinkle the chopped shallots or red onion on top of the salad.
4.	In a small bowl, mix together the grainy mustard, lemon juice, and warmed honey.
5.	Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss well.
6.	Serve the Chicken Salad immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
