Notes

  • The nutrition information was calculated using only 1/4 cup of the spicy mayo sauce.
  • You can use any type of lettuce such as Boston lettuces, romaine lettuces, kale, spinach, or even arugula.
  • Use different veggies if you'd like!
  • Make sure to cut everything into bite-sized pieces so you can have a bit of everything in one bite. 
  • Use Greek yogurt as a substitute for mayonnaise, if desired.
  • To store: Store the dressing in a separate container to avoid the salad getting soggy. Everything will keep for up to 4 days.
  • To freeze: I don't recommend freezing the salad but you can freeze the chicken for up to 3 months.
