🥚EggsSwaps and substitutions
For a vegetarian version, swap the chicken for roasted chickpeas, tofu, or grilled halloumi to keep the salad hearty. If you avoid eggs, use an egg-free honey mustard-style dressing; for nut-free needs, the sunflower seeds are already a good choice.
What to serve with it
Serve this salad with warm crusty bread or a light soup if you want to make it more filling. Iced tea, sparkling water with lemon, or a crisp white wine all suit the smoky-sweet flavors.
