Paired with a variety of fresh vegetables and a bed of greens, this salad delivers both flavor and texture in every bite.
Not only is this dish bursting with flavors, but it’s also loaded with nutrients. Chicken provides lean protein, while the vegetables add a host of vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.
