I make this weekly as a mason jar salad to take to work. Great flavor and easy to make. Sometimes, if I want to have a vegetarian salad, I replace the chicken with whole grains, like farro or quinoa. Sometimes I replace the tomatoes with red pepper. Very adaptable.

I made the dressing separate so I could eat it at a later time. Otherwise, no changes or adjustments were needed.
