This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or fish. I like to add a cup of shredded chicken or flaked fish to the salad for an extra protein boost.

This salad is a great make-ahead dish. You can make it a day or two ahead of time, and it will still taste just as good. This makes it perfect for busy weeknights.

I love that this salad is so versatile. You can easily add or remove ingredients to suit your own taste. I like to add a bit of crumbled feta cheese for an extra tangy flavor.
