  • Marinate the chicken ahead of time: This will help to infuse the chicken with flavor and make it more tender. You can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Cook the chicken properly: The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and nutrients to the salad. Some good vegetables to use include tomatoes, cucumbers, red onions, and bell peppers.
  • Make your own pesto: Pesto is a flavorful sauce that is made with basil, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, and garlic. It's easy to make and can be used in a variety of dishes.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: This will help to prevent the vegetables from getting soggy. You can also add the dressing just before serving.
