This is loosely based on the recipe from Simply in Season, but with a few of my own additions/subtractions. You could easily add cooked chicken if you like, though this is a fantastic salad as is, too! Tons of vitamins and minerals and flavor--this is great as a salad or as part of a wrap filling (just add greens!). I've also used leftovers as a soup base.
