BBQ Chicken Chopped Salad image

This healthy salad was adapted from one I ate at California Pizza Kitchen. The lime juice intensified by the jicama draws out the flavor of the vegetables, so an oil- or cream-based dressing is not necessary.

I used a store-bought rotisserie chicken for this salad and it turned out great. It's a great shortcut if you're short on time.

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise, but the dressing in this salad is amazing. It's creamy and tangy, but not too heavy.
