Notes
Chef Jenn's Tips
- If using leftover chicken, ensure it's not overly seasoned to avoid overpowering the other flavors in the salad.
- Toast the almonds lightly in a dry pan for a few minutes to enhance their flavor and add a delightful crunch to the salad.
- For a healthier option, you can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream or use a lighter mayonnaise.
