  • For a spicier kick, add some chopped chili peppers or a dash of hot sauce to the marinade.
  • Make sure to let the chicken rest after grilling to allow the juices to redistribute and keep it moist.
  • Feel free to customize the salad by adding other vegetables like bell peppers, avocado, or red onion.
  • You can also add some toasted nuts or seeds for extra crunch and texture.

  • The chicken can be reheated gently in the microwave or enjoyed cold in sandwiches or wraps.
  • The salad can be stored for up to 2 days, but keep in mind that the greens may wilt slightly.
  • When ready to serve leftovers, toss the salad with the dressing and add the chicken slices.
