Notes
Allow cooked chicken to rest for at least 10 minutes before adding it to the salad. Thoroughly dry the lettuce after washing to prevent a watery salad. Dress the salad just before serving for optimal freshness, and keep feta separate until the end to maintain its texture. Let the dressing sit for 30 minutes before use for enhanced flavor.
