I love this salad for one BIG reason and that is being able to use fresh fruits. (the snap peas came from the farmers market too:-) Summer is the perfect time and then adding a grilled chicken breast, well, what could be better. I used a packet of Hellmann's Honey Dijon FF dressing for the mix. I eat a salad everynight for my supper and so am always looking for a different version than the standard veggies I normally add. I loved this Anna. The only thing I omitted was the pecans per preference and raspberries and that simply because they're so expensive. This is one recipe that I will use again!

Very interesting recipe. I did not think the fruits and peas would "play nicely" together but the tastes surprisinly worked well together. The dresing had a nice tang to it. I was very skeptical of this recipe but it really was quite good, a nice diffrent treat for me and my familys taste buds! I will use this dressing on lots of diffrent things now. Thanks for posting!
