The flavors in this salad blend so well together that it is hard for any one flavor to stand out. I used the left overs of a smoked chicken and added some grilled chicken to make up the full amount of chicken. Tripled the recipe to take to a church potluck and it was gone in minutes,with lots of requests for the recipe. Thank you for posting
