If you have followed my Personal Cheffing photos, you will see that I use lettuce cups all of the time to hold Whole30 salads such as this Greek Chicken Salad.
I use butter lettuce, radicchio and Napa cabbage to fill with salads quite a bit, but also use endive, Swiss chard and collard greens. Lots of options!
For this recipe, I used Napa cabbage because it is sturdy and holds up really well if you prep these a day in advance.
I have made these for client’s lunches and have also shared them at a party with friends. They are colorful and flavorful and the addition of @primalkitchenfoods Greek Vinaigrette makes them sooooo good.

1/4 cup of @primalkitchenfoods Greek Vinaigrette (or you can whisk a vinaigrette made with 1/4 cup avocado oil, 2 Tbs. lemon juice, 1/2 tsp. sea salt, 1 tsp. each of dried oregano, dill and basil to keep this AIP)
