• NOTE: I have also made this salad using diced pepperoni (about 1/2 cup) in place of the chicken.
• If you use the full 2 cups of chicken it is a great main dish salad, or if you prefer you can omit meat altogether and have it as a side salad.
• If your store carries two sizes of the bottled dressing, use the bigger size.
• I don't have any on hand at the moment to check the ounces.
• Sometimes I also add diced green pepper.
