Homemade chicken salad on greens

Randomness prevails!
Considering all the rain we've had this spring, the sun is always a welcome sight. And with the sun comes warmer weather. Like most folks, the last thing I want to do is sit down and eat a big meal. Exercise (bleh) and salad call out to me. So today, after a hatless run, I dug into my fridge to see what I could pull together for dinner.

Cue leftover boiled chicken (thanks, Mom), some condiments, spices, greens and sweet red pepper, and 10 minutes later...homemade chicken salad on greens. I love it when randomness turns into yumminess.

(Note: I didn't add any salt because the chicken was already salted)

Ingredients:
- 1 cup of cold cooked chicken (sliced, diced or in chunks)
- 1/2 teaspoon of dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise (I used Hellman's light olive oil mayo)
- 1/2 teaspoon of ketchup
- dash of pepper
- dash of parsley
- romaine lettuce (cleaned and cut)
- 1 red pepper (cleaned and sliced)

Instructions
- Plate greens and pepper
- Beyond this...mix all the other ingredients together
- Done!
