For a vegetarian option, omit the chicken and add 1 cup of marinated artichoke hearts, quartered. Grilled salmon or shrimp also make excellent protein additions to this salad. To enhance the rosemary flavor, gently bruise the rosemary leaves before chopping to release their oils. This salad is best served at room temperature or slightly chilled. Avoid serving it ice-cold, as this can dull the flavors. If you don't have white balsamic vinegar, you can substitute with regular balsamic vinegar, but use half the amount.
