Customize It Instructions

  • If using roasted chicken breast, remove from packaging and microwave until warm, 1-2 minutes. Add to salad and combine.

  • If using cooked beef steak strips, remove from packaging and microwave until warm, 1-2 minutes. Add to salad and combine.

  • If using shrimp, pat dry and season all over with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat 1 tsp. olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat.
