Notes
Chicken options: I used my Pollo Asado Recipe for this salad, and it is fantastic! Feel free to use any grilled chicken, or store-bought rotisserie chicken. My Cilantro Lime grilled chicken would also be a good option.
Salsa: I used my Classic Pico de Gallo Salsa recipe for this recipe. You can also use store-bought pico de gallo or toss in some chopped tomatoes.
