- In a separate bowl, mix together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. This will be the dressing for the salad.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the salad and gently toss to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Add the sliced white meat to the salad and toss again gently.
- Check the saltiness and spiciness of the salad, and if needed, add more salt or pepper to taste.
- The white meat salad is ready to be served! You can garnish it with fresh herbs or sprinkle with dried herbs before serving.
