The way this crazy weather is, with the heat and humidity, this salad looks so refreshing!

A lovely combination of veggies and chicken - a match made in heaven, so fresh, thank you!

I love making layered salads and have done them for probably 40+ years. Never did them with chicken though. The dressing with ginger, I imagine, gives it an Asian flair. No bean sprouts (also Asian) maybe use some crumbled noodles

Looks so delicious! I love the salad bar when I go out to eat. Thanks for sharing
