Very tastey I will make it always.I bought Briannas homestyle poppy seed salad dressing.And my chicken breast was left over from the night before so just took the poppy seed dressing pored a little on the chicken after warming up the chicken in the microwave. And I added sliced red onions. What a refreashing salad.Dee Nies Surprise AZ
