This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped nuts or seeds for extra crunch.

I'm not usually a big fan of salads, but this one is an exception. The combination of flavors is amazing. I especially love the addition of the arugula.

I made this salad for my family and they loved it. The dressing was especially good. I used a little less sugar than the recipe called for, and it was still plenty sweet.
