Tips & Tricks

  1. For extra flavor, let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes before grilling.

  2. Use a grill pan if you don’t have access to an outdoor grill.

  3. Serve immediately for the best texture, or store in the fridge for meal prep.

  4. Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an extra burst of flavor.

FAQS

  1. Can I use a different protein instead of chicken?

    Yes, you can substitute chicken with grilled shrimp, tofu, or even steak for a different flavor profile.

  2. How long can I store this salad?

    This salad can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Keep the vinaigrette separate for best results.

  3. Can I make this salad vegetarian?

    Absolutely! Skip the chicken and add more grilled vegetables or a plant-based protein like chickpeas or tofu.

  4. What’s the best way to slice radishes thinly?

    Use a mandoline slicer for uniform, thin slices, or a sharp knife if you prefer manual slicing.

  5. Can I use store-bought vinaigrette instead of making my own?

    Yes, a store-bought lemon or Dijon vinaigrette works well as a substitute if you're short on time.
