Our Tips
Chef's tips for making this recipe
Tips
Vegetarian Chicken : Replace chicken with firm tofu or tempeh, prepared the same way with BBQ sauce.
Cheese : Use grated parmesan or shavings instead of mozzarella for a more traditional version.
Grilled Vegetables : Add grilled bell peppers or zucchini to enrich the salad.
Light Vinaigrette : Use a lightened Caesar dressing or yogurt vinaigrette to reduce calories.
Homemade Croutons : Add homemade croutons for additional crunch.
Save time by using pre-cooked chicken and simply sauté it with the BBQ sauce.
Thoroughly dry mushrooms before cooking to make them crispy and not release water.
For better texture, do not mix the salad with the vinaigrette until just before serving.
The dish can be prepared in advance, except for the final assembly, to preserve the freshness and crunch of the ingredients.
