Today Food: Chicken Chopped Salad Butter Lettuce Cups Recipe

You could use any leftover protein (such as steak or pork) in place of the chicken to help you clean out the fridge or customize the recipe for your own family. Giada suggested making a batch of vinaigrette and keeping it handy in a sealed container in the fridge for recipes like this. Just remember to make small batches, because it will only stay fresh for a few days.

“You can pick it up and actually eat it like a wrap,” Giada said of the finished product. I love the satisfying crunch of a lettuce cup. What do you think about this recipe idea?
