Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by washing 6 cups of fresh lettuce thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Dry it using a salad spinner or by patting it gently with a clean kitchen towel.
- Next, slice and dice your colorful vegetables: one red bell pepper and one yellow bell pepper for sweetness, along with a cup of cucumber and a cup of tomatoes. If using red onion, thinly slice half a cup and soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes.
- In the large bowl with your prepared lettuce, add the diced bell peppers, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, and red onion. Gently toss the vegetables together using salad tongs to combine them evenly.
- Chop or slice your grilled chicken into bite-sized pieces and add it to the bowl with the vegetables.
- Generously drizzle half a cup of ají verde dressing over the salad mixture.
- With all your ingredients in the bowl, use salad tongs to gently toss everything together.
- Your Peruvian Grilled Chicken Salad is now ready to be enjoyed! Serve it immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes
To prevent a watery salad, ensure the lettuce is washed thoroughly and dried completely. Consider grilling the chicken one day ahead for convenience.
