Take cooled, shredded chicken in crock pot and store in fridge for an hour for additional cooling..
Combine salad ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir until vegetables are thoroughly coated. Combine salad mix into the crock pot with the chicken and stir until completely mixed. Put finished salad into refrigerator and chill..
Serve by itself or use it for sandwiches. Recipe can be halved for smaller portions..
