Notes

  • If you are using leftover chicken, only store the salad for up to 5 days after the chicken was originally cooked.
  • Substitute or omit any of the ingredients you don't like in the salad itself.
  • Taste the dressed salad before you season it with salt and pepper. The banana pepper brine adds salty flavor.
