Keep it juicy
Cook the chicken or turkey until just done, then let it rest briefly before slicing so the juices stay in the meat.

Gabriela's tips
Small changes that make this recipe easier to fit into real life.
Keep it fresh
Store the dressing separately and add it just before eating so the vegetables stay crisp and the meal keeps well.
Useful for tomorrow
Cool leftovers promptly and refrigerate in a sealed container; add a splash of water when reheating to bring the texture back.
