NOTES
1. Can I make this without broad beans? Yes, you can. Try peas, edamame beans, or even chopped green beans for the same color and a bit of crunch.
2. Can I use leftover chicken instead of smoked chicken? You can, but you will miss that smoky flavor. If you use cooked chicken, add a pinch of smoked paprika to your dressing.
3. Is this salad served warm or cold? It’s best served cold or at room temperature. Letting it cool brings out all the flavors.
4. Variations
- Want a different twist? Add crumbled feta and some olives for a Mediterranean feel.
- Or mix in a teaspoon of mustard and a pinch of chili flakes for a bit of extra spice.
- Would you like to make it a complete meal? Add boiled eggs or serve it as a wrap with some lettuce.
- Refrigerator: Keep the salad in an airtight box in the fridge. It stays good for up to two days. It’s best eaten fresh, but you can also enjoy the leftovers.
