Sonoran Chicken Salad

Submitted by DailyInspiration

"From the Sonoran Grill cookbook. A light salad with lemon/lime dijon dressing and a little "kick" from crushed red pepper and chile de arbol (not sure how much heat this adds - use your discretion). Prep time does not include cooking time for chicken or the one hour for the dressing to stand before serving. I love to use rotisserie chickens as I think they add flavor to the salad."
