I'm not a big fan of chicken salad, but this one was really good! The dressing was light and flavorful, and the chicken was tender and juicy.

This salad was just okay. The flavors didn't really come together for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This was a great recipe! I followed it exactly and it turned out perfect. The chicken was tender and flavorful, and the black beans and corn added a nice crunch. The dressing was also really good - it had a nice balance of sweetness and acidity.
