Tropical Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Very light. Great the day after Thanksgiving or any other day you may have (accidentally) over indulged.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 C chicken, cooked, cold and chopped (use a rotisserie chicken or grilled)
1/2 C mango, diced fresh
1/4 C green onion, sliced thin
1/4 C red bell pepper, finely diced
1/4 C macadamia nuts, coarsely chopped (optional, we never add)
1/4 C light lime dressing, or as desired
-- 1/4 C lime juice
-- 2 tsp minced cilantro
-- 1/2 tsp honey or brown sugar (optional)
-- 1 tbsp olive oil
-- 1 tsp balsamic vinegar
6 to 8 small butter lettuce leaves, rinsed

Directions:

Place all ingredients, minus lettuce, in bowl and toss to coat dressing evenly. Chill for at least 30-45 minutes. Spoon onto lettuce leaves.
