This salad is so versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste. I've even added chopped hard-boiled eggs and crumbled bacon to it.

This salad is not worth the effort. It's not very flavorful and it's not very filling.

The chicken was a bit dry. I would recommend marinating the chicken before cooking it.

This salad is a bit bland. I would recommend adding some more spices to the dressing.

I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, but I really enjoyed this salad. It's light and refreshing, and the dressing is not too heavy.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in my fridge, and this salad is a great way to use it up.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it still turned out great. I used brown rice instead of white rice, and I added some chopped carrots and celery.
