I'm allergic to cilantro, so I used parsley instead. It was still really good!

This salad is so easy to make, and it's a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken.

I'm a vegetarian, so I omitted the chicken from this recipe. It was still delicious! I added some extra veggies to make up for the lack of protein.
