Helpful Tips
Storage
Store components separately in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Tip: keep salad undressed if meal prepping so it stays crisp.
Substitutions
- Chicken breast → chicken thigh: stays juicy and still high-protein.
- Potatoes → sweet potato: similar method, slightly sweeter flavour.
- No dill/mint: use extra parsley
Serving Suggestions
Add warm pita or flatbread on the side if you want it more filling.
Want more veg? Add capsicum, lettuce, or a handful of baby spinach.
