I accidentally put the garlic into the dressing raw instead of on the chicken. And it was gorgeous! I now make twice as much of the dressing to everything else as the dressing does go with so many things! Including this salad. Which is delicious! Wherever you put the garlic! :)

This recipe is a true delight! Fresh and tasty, like summer on a plate. I had some leftover chicken grilled in recipe #483310 so I used that and skipped the step of cooking the chicken - it was a terrific match and made lunch that much easier. The dressing is terrific and perfect with the fruits and chicken. Served over leaf lettuce because that's what I had on hand. Just loved this - thanks for sharing the recipe!
