- To save time, you can cook the chicken ahead of time and refrigerate it. This will make it easy to assemble the salad when you're ready to serve it.
- If you're short on time, you can also use rotisserie chicken from the grocery store. Just be sure to remove the skin and bones before adding it to the salad.
- Feel free to customize the salad to your liking. Add or remove ingredients as desired. For example, if you don't like cilantro, you can leave it out. Or, if you want a spicier salad, you can add some chopped jalapeños.
