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.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken that I needed to use up, and this salad was the perfect solution. It was quick and easy to make, and it tasted delicious. I will definitely be making this salad again.
