Why I Love This Recipe

This is one of those recipes I end up making on repeat because it’s almost too easy not to. A little chopping, a quick stir, and lunch is ready for the next few days. It’s packed with bright, Mediterranean-inspired flavors, plenty of crunch, and a creamy dressing that somehow gets even better after it’s had a little time to chill in the fridge.

Enjoying The Leftovers

This might actually be one of the rare recipes that’s better the next day. As everything sits together, the dressing soaks into the chicken and vegetables, making every bite even more flavorful.

Storing

Store the salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Give it a quick stir before serving to redistribute the dressing.

When you’re ready to eat

Scoop it into lettuce cups, pile it onto toasted sourdough, wrap it in a tortilla, or serve it over a big bowl of greens. It’s one of those recipes that’s just as good however you decide to eat it.
