Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups cooked chicken shawarma, leftovers or cooked fresh
  • 1 head lettuce , any type, sliced
  • 3 persian cucumbers, sliced into half moones
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced into halves or quarters
  • 1/4 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1/2 cup pink pickles or any pickles, chopped finely

For the Dressing:

Instructions
 

  • Heat up your 3 cups cooked chicken shawarma on a skillet over the stove. If you'd like to make this salad and don't have leftovers, use any type of chicken on hand (like rotisserie) or make the shawarma fresh.
  • Prepare the 1 head lettuce , 3 persian cucumbers, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, 1/4 red onion, 1 cup black olives and 1/2 cup pink pickles or any pickles by slicing each one as instructed in the ingredients.
  • Mix together all the ingredients to make the 1/2 cup shawarma sauce (white sauce), which will be used as the dressing.
  • Layer the salad starting with: lettuce, cucumber and tomato, onions, olives, and pickles.
  • Drizzle the sauce all over. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can use any type of chicken for this salad, its not just limited to chicken shawarma. But shawarma works best!
  • Store in a container and in the fridge, but I suggest serving it on the same day as the vegetables will release moisture as they sit.
  • Mix and match different vegetables to your liking.
