# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but feels clean, no afternoon slump required.
  • You can prep it in under half an hour and eat it immediately or save it for tomorrow without guilt.
  • The crunchy lettuce does what bread does but lets you taste everything else.
02 -
  • Don't dress the salad more than a few hours ahead or the vegetables start giving off water and everything becomes mushy.
  • Greek yogurt curdles slightly if you use boiling hot chicken, so let it cool completely first.
03 -
  • Toast your almonds in a dry pan for two minutes before adding them, it wakes up their flavor in a way that matters.
  • If you're serving this to people who are skeptical about Greek yogurt, don't announce it, just let them taste it and be surprised.
