Notes

Ensure all ingredients are diced uniformly for a pleasant textural experience in every bite. When assembling, layering is key: always place the dressing/chicken mixture at the bottom to prevent the greens from becoming soggy. For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of freshly ground black pepper or a touch of fresh dill to the chicken mixture. For longer freshness, ensure greens are completely dry before layering. This recipe is highly customizable; experiment with other nuts, seeds, or vegetables for variety.
