“This is a VERY GOOD salad. I had everything the recipe called for so it was a snap to put together. The marinade was perfect flavors for the chicken. I also grilled the chicken for the easiness and like getting a few charred end pieces for flavor. My dressing ” — a cook, 4.0★
“Absolutely fabulous! I marinated the chicken for 3 hours and cooked on grill to lessen clean up. I really liked the dressing but husband didn't care for tanginess which is what I like.” — a cook, 5.0★
