This made for a WONDERFUL lunch! Thank you for sharing! I didnt have mrs. dash, so I used a combination of the following herbs/spices: dried parsley, pepper, celery salt, basil, marjoram, cayenne pepper, oregano, cumin, mustard powder, onion powder, and garlic powder...and I love this spice mix! lol. The chicken is absolutely delicious. Unfortunately I wasnt able to get to the store to buy the red pepper flakes..as I ran out, so I used a bit of cayenne in its place... :-) WONDERFUL! Thanks for the recipe!!!

What an absolute perfect dinner this was for a warm summer night. All 5 of my kids loved the flavor of the lime grilled chicken. The green leaf lettuce and red sliced tomatoes made this dish look & taste beautiful. The mayo & Mrs. Dash combonation was INCREDIBLE! I never thought of pairing those 2 together. Thank you so much for this recipe. It was so good I'm making it next week. You made my family, myself & my Hubby happy. Thanks again Hey Jude!
