This salad is right up my alley!! I used only one large chicken breast and reduced the seasonings accordingly. I decided to chop the tomato and cucumber into smaller pieces so I can eat it at my desk whilst working without needing to use a knife. As I'm not a fan of cilantro I decided to leave it out. This is such a fresh tasting salad one that I'll enjoy often with or without the chicken...Mmmm yum!! Reviewed for Fall PAC 2008.
