Serve this scrumptious salad over mixed organic greens for a balanced meal. This salad is best served at room temperature. This lets the olive oil in the dressing soften. Use leftover chicken from a whole roasted chicken in this salad or use my Poached Chicken Breast recipe to quickly cook up the chicken you need for this salad. You can also cook a whole chicken on the stove and freeze the broth for later use, and use the meat for this salad.
