  • Cook the chicken properly: The chicken should be cooked through but still juicy. If you're not sure how to cook chicken, check out our guide on how to cook chicken breasts.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 3 days in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld together.
  • Assemble the salad just before serving: The salad is best when it's served fresh. If you assemble it too far in advance, the vegetables will wilt and the dressing will become watery.
