This salad was spectacular! Beautifully delicious, really. I made just a couple changes... I used a no salt seasoning on the chicken while grilling, used one sweet onion and grilled it as well and subbed spinach for the cos. I grilled this on a panini grill and had the kids munching on green beans while everything cooked... it couldn't have been easier and more delicious. Thank you for posting such a delightful recipe. P.S. My hubby suggested adding cashews next time for some more crunch!
