“It only took me about a year to make this, but this recipe is a definite keeper.  My husband enjoyed it as much as I did, and even at the avocado!  Thanks for sharing such a great recipe.  PS.  I did leave out the onion, but substituted some snipped chives,” — a cook, 5.0★
“This was the first week for blackberries at our farmers market, and I bought them because I remembered this recipe.  It's a  little chilly for grilling, so I poached the chicken and shredded it. The salad is delicious. I kept the ingredients separate so we can” — a cook, 5.0★
