I love this salad. I was reading through the ingredients and it sure looks yummy. Left over grilled chicken can be chopped and added into a new delightful dish like this. Thanks for sharing the recipe. The dressing sounds good too.

Summertime is salad time around my house. Always on the look out for a great salad and this Asian salad looks looks fresh and delicious. I would have to leave the peanuts out unfortunately because of some allergies in family members.
