I found this salad to be bland and uninspired. The chicken was dry and the pineapple and arugula didn't add much flavor. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This salad was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the dressing was too sweet for my taste. I wouldn't make it again.

I love the combination of sweet and savory in this salad. The chicken is perfectly seasoned and the pineapple adds a nice tropical touch. The arugula is a great addition, adding a bit of bitterness to balance out the sweetness of the other ingredient

This salad is a delightful burst of flavors! The sweetness of the pineapple and the peppery chicken pair perfectly together, while the arugula adds a nice peppery bite. I highly recommend this recipe!
