This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a healthy and refreshing meal.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used sunflower seeds instead of almonds in this salad. It was still very good.

I added some grilled shrimp to this salad and it was amazing! The shrimp added a nice depth of flavor.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning.

I found this salad to be too sweet. I think I'll try it again with a different dressing.

This salad was just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me.

I'm not a big fan of Asian food, but this salad was surprisingly good. The dressing was light and flavorful.

I made this salad for my lunch today and it was so refreshing and delicious! I love the crunch of the wonton strips and the zesty dressing.
