Notes

Serve this salad on a large plate or in individual bowls. Make sure to add extra vinaigrette on the side for those who want more dressing. If you want more flavor, marinate the chicken in the olive oil and spices for an hour before grilling. You can also add other vegetables like bell peppers or avocado to make the salad even more colorful and nutritious. Use fresh herbs like basil or cilantro to enhance the taste.
