"A nice citrusy blend of flavours make this salad a memorable feast for one to enjoy over the years. This involves some hard work, but its well worth the end result. The longer you allow the chicken to marinate, the tastier it gets!"

Very good recipe - refreshing & light. I used an extra tbsp of orange juice in place of the oil & omitted the green onions.
