This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some rotisserie chicken in the fridge, and this was the perfect way to use it up. The salad is also very versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste.

I'm not a huge fan of blue cheese, but I actually really enjoyed this salad. The pears and walnuts add a nice sweetness and crunch that balances out the sharpness of the cheese.
