Good to know
You can add additional vegetables and bake all of them and use this salad with the chicken or just serve with gluten-free bread or a cheese board instead of the chicken. You could change the chicken marinade and make a different salad. Substitute the pumpkin for thinly sliced and grilled aubergines. Orange instead of lemon in the marinade will also give a different flavor.
