Chicken Salad with Gruyere, Green Beans, Tomatoes & Basil
This Chicken Salad with Gruyere, Green Beans, Tomatoes & Basil is hearty enough for dinner or for a substantial lunch. If you start with rotisserie chicken, or other cooked chicken, it will come together very quickly.

Ingredients:
- 4 ounces (115 g) slender green beans, trimmed and cut crosswise in half or thirds
- 1 pound (455 g ) cooked chicken, skinless, cubed or shredded
- 2 ounces (55 g) Gruyere cheese, cut into 2-inch by 1/4-inch (5 cm by 6 mm) sticks
- 10 cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons torn basil leaves
- Soft lettuce, such as Boston or Bibb
- Low FODMAP salad dressing of choice
Preparation:
-
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and drop in the beans. Boil for a couple of minutes or just until crisp/tender. Drain and run under cold water to halt cooking. Pat very dry.
-
In a large mixing bowl toss together the beans, chicken, Gruyere, tomatoes and basil. Lightly dress with salad dressing of choice and serve on a bed of lettuce. You can also store the salad without the lettuce overnight in an airtight container in the fridge. I actually like it after it has been stored with dressing, but you could also store the dressing separately and combine right before eating.
Notes:
Tips
- We love Gruyere and it has a flavor all of its own which we think makes this dish. We recommend that you seek it out specifically.
