Brazilian-Inspired Chicken Salad Lettuce Wraps
Experience a taste of Brazil with these vibrant and creamy chicken salad lettuce wraps. Inspired by the beloved Salpicão, this recipe features tender shredded chicken, crisp vegetables, and a zesty dressing, all nestled in fresh, crunchy lettuce leaves for a light yet satisfying meal.
Let's cook.
In a medium bowl, combine the shredded chicken, mayonnaise, and lime juice. Mix well until the chicken is evenly coated.
Add the diced red onion, celery, carrots, and chopped cilantro to the chicken mixture. Stir gently to combine all ingredients.
Season the chicken salad with salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Arrange the large lettuce leaves on a serving platter or individual plates.
Spoon an equal portion of the Brazilian chicken salad into the center of each lettuce leaf.
Optionally, sprinkle each wrap with 1 tablespoon of shoestring potato sticks for added texture and a classic Salpicão touch.
Serve immediately as fresh, crisp wraps.
