Well, I didn't have the ingredients so I just used this recipe as inspiration. I used the cooked breast from a rotisserie chicken and added a sprinkle of onion powder, paprika and chile powder to the dressing ingredients. I cut out the onions and added celery. DELICIOUS!!

One of my favorite Cooking Light recipes. The combinations of the ancho chili powder, orange juice, vinegar and walnuts with the burst of grapes is delicious!
