Cooking Tips

• Make sure to preheat the grill to medium-high heat before grilling the chicken and halloumi.
• If you don't have chipotle powder, you can use smoked paprika or chili powder instead.
• For extra flavor, you can add some sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes to the salad.
• If you prefer a vegetarian version, you can omit the chicken and add more grilled halloumi or tofu.
• To make it a complete meal, serve the salad with some crusty bread or cooked quinoa.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served immediately after assembling.
• If you have leftovers, store the grilled chicken, halloumi, and dressing separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• To reheat the chicken and halloumi, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes.
• When ready to serve, assemble the salad with the reheated chicken, halloumi, and dressing.
• Garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, for an extra burst of flavor.
