"A nice crunchy salad with a great tangy dressing. To save time, pick up some pre-cooked rotisserie chicken instead of cooking some chicken yourself."

WONDERFUL! Received well by all. I used boiled chx thighs since that's what I had on hand. I prefer the breasts so next time....Also added mandarin oranges.TY

I have made this recipe many times and didn't realize that I never posted a review!! For personal taste I have made a few adjusments; I add mushrooms and bamboo shoots instead of carrots and water chestnuts. I plan on making this again soon, since we have fresh cabbage from our garden. Thanks for the great recipe!!
