Commonly Asked Questions

Can I use other dressing aside from the ranch dressing?

Yes, of course. As we have mentioned above, feel free to use your preferred dressing. If you are not into the combination of ranch dressing and mustard, we suggest using Thousand Island dressing instead. This type of dressing leans more toward the sweet and tangy side.

How long can I store this dish?

This grilled chicken salad wrap is best served hot. But, in cases of leftovers, just make sure to place them inside an airtight container and keep it refrigerated. Toast them in a toaster oven or heat them up using a microwave if you are going to eat them again. This dish can stay in good condition for around 2 to 3 days.
