How long can I store this salad in the fridge?

Store the salad in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For best freshness, add mayonnaise just before serving if possible.

Absolutely! Replace the chicken with grilled tofu or chickpeas for a protein-rich vegetarian version while keeping the other ingredients the same.

What's the best way to adjust this recipe for a low-carb diet?

To reduce carbs, skip the carrots and prunes or use them sparingly. Increase the chicken and cheese portions for more protein and fat.

How can I make this salad creamier without adding more mayonnaise?

Mix in a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt along with the mayonnaise for extra creaminess with a tangy flavor.

Prepare all ingredients separately and store them in airtight containers. Combine and add mayonnaise just 1-2 hours before serving to maintain texture.

What type of cheese works best in this salad?

A mild cheese like mozzarella or cheddar works well, but you can experiment with feta or goat cheese for a tangier flavor.
