Notes
- Boil your eggs in advance to speed things up.
- Leave out the chicken for a vegetarian option, it's still really hearty and delicious!
- To make this recipe even quicker use rotisserie chicken.
- Try swapping hard-boiled eggs for poached eggs - it's delicious and gives the salad a brunch vibe!
- Chop your veggies into medium/small pieces. You want to be sure they aren’t so big that they’re difficult to fit in your mouth.
- You can swap in your favorite veggies and cheese, great for veggies languishing in the fridge.
- If you have a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, it’s the perfect container for making salad dressing. This is such a delicious dressing, you can make extra and store what you don’t use in the jar in the fridge, making life even easier for the next salad!
- If you have any leftover chicken, serve it with some grilled veggies the next night.
