    Delicious... Next time I might marinate the chicken in some Lime and Pepper to give it a little extra. The dressing was AMAZING! Even my boyfriend liked it and he's a creamy ranch kinda guy :) - 7/19/12

    From someone who doesn't like salads, this was amazing! Even my picky son liked it. I let him put bacon pieces in his. - 3/20/09
