This salad was easy to make and turned out great! I used grilled chicken instead of roasted chicken, and it was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of spinach, but this salad was delicious! The chicken and dressing were so good that I didn't even notice the spinach.

This salad was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and juicy, the spinach was fresh and crisp, and the dressing was light and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
