Show Me Chicken Salad!

We made a very tasty Asian Chicken Salad a few weeks ago for supper, once again brought to you by Joelen and Cooks Illustrated!

I did make some adaptations to this recipe, so I'll post it as I made it below - we'll call it a revised recipe for non bell pepper eaters.

The dressing on this salad was so delicious and the crisp freshness of all of the veggies was just wonderful.

This is a great meal to make when you've got veggies to use up and some leftover chicken in the house. And it's a great quick meal to make on a weeknight when you're really busy.
