Great salad with fun mix of flavors and textures. So easy with the chicken ready to go and good for lunch the next day too.
0 HelpfulThis is my new favorite salad! Love the combo of flavors and textures, and the very tasty dressing. Plus super quick and easy
0 HelpfulVery tasty, healthy salad! Quick to throw together on a weeknight, when chicken is already made.
0 HelpfulI added some fried wonton strips that were in my fridge and needed to be used up. Great addition! Will definitely do that again if I make it again.
