This salad is delicious and healthy. I love that I can make it ahead of time and it still tastes great. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some grilled chicken from the night before, and it worked perfectly in this recipe. The dressing is also very good, and I will definitely be using it again on other salads.
