Tips:

  • To save time, you can use pre-cooked or rotisserie chicken.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add more beans or tofu.
  • If you don't have any fresh spinach, you can use baby kale or arugula instead.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the salad, such as chopped cucumber, bell pepper, or carrots.
  • For a sweeter dressing, use honey or maple syrup instead of sugar.
  • If you're making the salad ahead of time, don't add the dressing until you're ready to serve. This will help prevent the salad from getting soggy.
