I really love salads especially in the summer.  I have made this a few times. It is so pretty, and both Jonathan and I love it. Rachel will eat it but she would say “not my favorite.”  You can buy deli chicken to make this recipe even easier.  My trick is that when we grill, I make sure I grill a little extra chicken. I freeze it and when I want to make a salad like this, I have the chicken. I simply thaw and slice.  We often grill extra chicken that I call “taco” chicken and freeze it to use for soft tacos later.

I hope your family enjoys!
