- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and fresh herbs.
- Cook the chicken ahead of time: This will save you time when you're assembling the salad. You can boil, grill, or roast the chicken, depending on your preference.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Al dente pasta is the best choice for this salad. Cook it according to the package directions, but keep an eye on it so that it doesn't get too soft.
- Use a light dressing: A vinaigrette or lemon-herb dressing is a good choice for this salad. Avoid heavy dressings, which will weigh down the salad.
- Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or cilantro, will add a nice flavor boost to the salad.
