I thought this salad was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the dressing was a bit bland. I would probably not make this recipe again.

This salad was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the dressing was creamy and flavorful. I would recommend using less Cajun seasoning if you don't like spicy food.
