This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also added some crumbled feta cheese and it was delicious!

I thought the dressing was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less honey or adding some lemon juice to balance out the flavor.

This salad was so easy to make and it turned out great! I was short on time so I used pre-cooked chicken and it still came together in just a few minutes.

I'm a big fan of spinach salads and this one did not disappoint. It was light and healthy but still very flavorful. The orange and avocado added a nice touch of sweetness and creaminess.
