I think many people have a variation of this recipe. This is the one my family enjoys. I like that you can use it as a main dish or make it meatless and use it as a side. If you happen to be grilling, add a few more chicken breasts to the grill, otherwise just boil the chicken. Dark meat chicken really works well with this salad but with all of my recipes, tweak to your own families’ preferences.
