I made this recently after planning on it for a long time. I did not know what to do with the juices/butter from cooking the chicken so dumped it in the salad along with the chicken. I love the flavors of this salad. Superb, really. The only drawback to the entire thing was that I found it to be rather acidic so next time I will add some oil to cut the acid from the lemons. Thank you for posting, Girl from India - I love this one.
