Notes
This copycat version of Chick-fil-A's Market Salad captures the freshness and flavor of the original dish, providing a delicious and satisfying meal.Feel free to adjust the amount of dressing and toppings according to your preference.Boost the Protein: Consider adding quinoa or chickpeas to the salad for an extra protein boost, especially if you're opting for a vegetarian version. Both ingredients blend well with the overall flavor profile and add satisfying texture.Dairy-Free Option: For a dairy-free version, simply omit the blue cheese or substitute it with a dairy-free cheese alternative. There are many plant-based cheese options available that can mimic the texture and tanginess of blue cheese.Storage Tips: If you have leftover salad, store the components separately whenever possible. Greens and toppings can be kept in airtight containers in the refrigerator, while the dressing should be stored separately. This helps maintain freshness and prevents the salad from becoming soggy.
