What else can I have on a chicken salad to make it more exciting without adding loads of calories! I'm so bored of simple salads!! :)

    i only have a salad about once a week as i get bored of it.. have other things for lunch instead! (which was yesterday - lettuce, cucumber tomato and a crustless cheese and onion quiche with a bit of light salad cream)

    today i have got a seeded sandwich thin with chicken, humous and lettuce. cant wait for lunchtime!

    Im always confused by what Americans call salad... What do you mean by "chicken salad" and why is it boring?

    I eat lots of salads, but they're never boring...

    Croutons, olives, sundried tomatoes, avocado, roasted pumpkin seeds. All weighed out but a little goes a long way towards adding texture and flavour.

    I'm American and I'm confused too!

    When I hear "chicken salad" I think of shredded chicken, mayo, chopped onion, etc. spread on bread. But it looks like the OP might be talking about a regular lettuce salad with chicken on top. I don't know.

    I honestly also thought she meant "chicken salad" as in a chicken salad sandwich. I'm Canadian.
    I suppose you could make any kind of salad you want and throw some chicken on it. I'm personally a fan of a BBQ chicken Caesar salad.
