Variations & swaps
Variation Ideas
- Protein. Substitute chicken for shrimp, salmon or tilapia. You can also make it with chicken thighs or chicken tenders.
- Veggies. You can use what is in season or anything you prefer. This easy salad is so versatile. We love kale, spinach, cucumbers, cauliflower, carrots and broccoli.
- Dressing. This homemade dressing is amazing but feel free to change the dressing. Some ideas include: Blue Cheese, Dijon Mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar and Ranch dressing. Sometimes, I just sprinkle lemon juice and olive oil on top.
- Meat Free. Skip the chicken all together. Add beans with the veggies for a vegetarian option that is filling and delicious.
- Nuts – Another delicious topping for this salad is Slow Cooker Candied Pecans Recipe.
- Chicken Marinade – Feel free to change the marinade to Fajita Chicken Marinade or Easy Italian Chicken Marinade for a delicious variations.
