Ingredients
  

For the Salad
  • 2 cups Grilled or Roasted Chicken Substitute with rotisserie chicken for faster prep.

  • ½ cup Mayonnaise Substitute with Greek yogurt for a healthier twist.
  • 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt Enhances creaminess while adding tang.
  • 1 tablespoon Lime Juice Fresh lime juice yields the best taste.

  • 1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika Regular paprika can replace it if unavailable.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt To taste, adjust based on personal preference.
