Rotisserie chicken is an excellent time-saving option.
Remove the jalapeño seeds and membranes for a milder flavor.
Add extra lime juice just before serving for a brighter citrus finish.
Chill the salad before serving for the best flavor.
Dice the vegetables evenly for the perfect texture in every bite.
For added crunch, stir in chopped cucumber or sliced radishes.
