I would make this salad again, but I would make a few changes. I would use less grapes and lemon juice, and I would cook the chicken in a more moist cooking method.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

I thought the chicken was a bit dry. I think I would have preferred it if it had been cooked in a more moist cooking method.

I found that the dressing was a bit too tangy for my liking. I would recommend using less lemon juice.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with fewer grapes.

This salad was easy to make and so delicious. I used rotisserie chicken to save time, and it turned out great. I also added a little bit of crumbled bacon to the salad, which added a nice smoky flavor.
