    • For convenience, try using packaged grilled chicken meat or substitute diced rotisserie chicken.

    Make Ahead Tip: You can make this recipe 1–2 hours ahead and keep it refrigerated. Let it stand at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving. You may need an additional ½ cup dressing to moisten the salad.
