This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also very versatile - you can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste.

This salad was easy to make and turned out great! I used a rotisserie chicken to save time, and the dressing was simple but delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.

I thought this salad was just okay. The chicken was a bit bland and the dressing was too vinegary for my taste. I wouldn't make this again.

This salad was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the dressing was too tangy for my taste. I wouldn't make this again.

I love this salad! It's so fresh and flavorful. I've made it several times and it's always a hit. I usually add some black beans and corn to it for extra flavor and texture.
