Notes

  • Use cooked chicken from your favorite preparation method such as roasted or grilled for added flavor.
  • If sun-dried tomatoes are dry-packed instead of oil-packed, rehydrate them briefly in warm water before chopping.
  • This salad works great as a filling for sandwiches, wraps, or served over a bed of greens.
  • Adjust mayonnaise quantity if you prefer a creamier or lighter texture.
  • Keep refrigerated and consume within 5 days to ensure freshness and safety.
