• If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can substitute the chicken with tofu or tempeh.
• To make the salad ahead of time, keep the dressing separate and toss it with the salad just before serving to prevent the vegetables from becoming soggy.

• To serve, give the salad a quick toss to redistribute the dressing and enjoy it chilled or at room temperature.
