Chicken Chopped Salad image

Lime dressing gives lively flavor to this crunchy salad tossed with peaches, peppers and peanuts. The unusual combination is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey and packs well for lunches or picnics. It's also terrific with the addition of grapefruit sections or pineapple tidbits. -Diane Halferty, Corpus Christi, Texas

This salad was a disaster! The dressing was too salty, the chicken was dry, and the avocado was brown. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

This salad was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I think I would have liked it more if the dressing had been a bit more tangy.

This salad was a bit too mayonnaise-y for my taste, but it was still good. Next time, I'll try using less mayonnaise and more yogurt in the dressing.
