  • any other lettuce or greens will work
  • be creative, add or remove any of the veggie ingredients.
  • use any oil in place of olive oil.
  • you may use greek-yogurt to any dairy-free yogurt.
  • make ahead: mix the dressing and store in the fridge. you can cook the chicken and set aside until you are ready to assemble the salad
