Swap romaine for mixed greens or baby spinach.

Sprinkle with nuts or seeds (like almonds or pumpkin seeds) for added crunch and protein.

FAQ

Q: Can I bake or pan-sear the chicken instead of grilling?
A: Yes! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes or pan-sear for 5–6 minutes per side.

Q: Can I make this salad ahead of time?
A: You can prep the veggies and chicken separately, but assemble just before eating to maintain crispness.
