Chef's Tips

For an extra crunch, add a handful of shoestring potato sticks (batata palha) just before serving, a common Brazilian addition. Ensure your chicken is fully cooled before mixing to prevent the salad from becoming watery.

Easy Substitutions

You can substitute cooked turkey for chicken. For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based mayonnaise. Green bell pepper or peas can be added for more vegetables.
