FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) CHICKEN and POTATO SALAD with LEMON
Can I make the chicken and potato salad with lemon in advance?
Yes, you can make it in advance. In fact, it is even tastier if left to rest in the refrigerator for a few hours, so the flavors blend well. However, if you make it well in advance, add the lemon dressing just before serving to prevent the potatoes from absorbing too much juice and becoming mushy.
What variations can I make to make the salad more interesting?
You can add fresh vegetables like arugula, cherry tomatoes, or olives to give a touch of color and additional flavor. Another interesting ingredient is avocado, which adds a creamy texture to the dish. If you prefer a stronger flavor, you can include capers or anchovies.
How can I make the salad lighter?
For a lighter version, you can replace the potatoes with grilled or boiled vegetables, such as zucchini or carrots. Also, you can reduce the amount of olive oil in the dressing and add more lemon juice or a little apple cider vinegar to keep the flavor without adding too many calories.
