I love this salad! It's so easy to make and it's always a hit with my family and friends. I usually make it with grilled chicken, but I've also made it with rotisserie chicken and it's just as good.

This is my new favorite summer salad. It's so light and refreshing, and the flavors are amazing. I love the combination of sweet and savory. I've also made it with grilled shrimp instead of chicken and it was just as good.

I'm not usually a fan of fruit in savory dishes, but this salad changed my mind. The sweetness of the fruit pairs perfectly with the salty chicken and tangy dressing. I will definitely be making this again.
