- Dress & Sprinkle
Whisk together the olive oil and apple cider vinegar in a small bowl. Drizzle over your assembled plate, making sure every bite gets a taste. Sprinkle that everything bagel seasoning on top to add a bit of texture and flavor.

Slice the chicken into bite-size pieces and place on top of the salad. And voila—you’re ready to dig in!
