Notes
Salad Variations
- Chicken – In a pinch, premade Rotisserie chicken can be shredded and added.
- Switch up the pistachios for sunflower seeds.
- Dont like feta cheese? Try adding tangy and creamy goat cheese.
- Fresh corn kernels and rinsed black beans are a welcome addition for color and flavor.
- The dressing is tangy but slightly bland, so we like to add a little Tzatziki sauce or sour cream on the side to mix in. This gives the salad bowl a little bit of creaminess.
