- Vegetarian Adaptation: Swap the chicken for grilled halloumi cheese or chickpeas to make this dish vegetarian.
- Serving Suggestion: For an extra burst of freshness, sprinkle chopped fresh dill over the salad before serving.
- Make Ahead: Prepare the chicken and chop the vegetables ahead of time for a quick assembly when you're ready to eat.
