Rasberry-Chicken Salad Review
This was a fantastic salad. I usually don't use salad dressing because it is oily and too over bearing but this salad dressing was wonderful. The dressing really takes the salad to a whole new level! I loved the cool fresh taste of the salad. It was very easy to make and made a nice presentation at the table.
