Notes

Feel free to customize this salad with your favorite toppings and dressings to keep it fresh and exciting.
For meal prep, store the chicken, spinach, and dressing separately until ready to eat to avoid sogginess.
Grilled chicken can be seasoned to your preference—simple salt and pepper work, but feel free to get creative!
Try different variations using seasonal fruits or nuts to adjust the flavor profile based on what's in your fridge.
