Chicken salad with "Citronet" sauce - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different protein instead of chicken for this salad?

Yes! Grilled shrimp, tofu, or even chickpeas make great substitutes for chicken to suit different dietary preferences.

How long can I store this chicken salad in the fridge?

Store the salad (without dressing) in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Add the citronette sauce just before serving for best freshness.

What can I use if I don't have fresh lemon juice for the citronette sauce?

Lime juice or white wine vinegar can replace lemon juice for a similar tangy flavor in the sauce.

Is there a low-carb alternative to croutons?

Try toasted nuts, seeds, or even chopped cucumber for crunch without the carbs.

Can I make this salad vegetarian?

Absolutely! Omit the chicken and add protein-rich ingredients like quinoa, lentils, or avocado for a hearty vegetarian version.

How can I make the citronette sauce creamier?

Add a teaspoon of Dijon mustard or Greek yogurt to the sauce for extra creaminess and flavor.

What are some good side dishes to serve with this chicken salad?

Pair it with crusty bread, a light soup, or grilled vegetables for a complete meal.

Can I freeze this salad for later?

Freezing isn't recommended as the vegetables will lose their texture. Store undressed salad in the fridge instead.

How can I adjust this recipe for a larger crowd?

Double or triple the ingredients, but assemble and dress the salad in batches to maintain freshness.
