Dress after prepping all veggies
Add the yogurt dressing once all vegetables, chicken, and feta are in the bowl, then toss gently.
Chill briefly if desired
After tossing, let the salad sit in the fridge for a short chill before serving for a cooler bite.
Keep protein and cheese separate until dressing
Add the chopped chicken and crumbled feta just before the dressing.
