Great blend of flavors and easy to make! We regularly eat this salad as a main dish meal. We like to toast the pecans first and sometimes add thin slices of red onion and a sprinkling of crumbled feta cheese.

I found the marinade made the chicken a bit sweet so I cut down on the sugar in the dressing. Not terrible, but also not sure if I would use this particular recipe again.

Awesome salad!! I added mango chunks and rinsed red kidney beans and sugar coated the pecans in a pan before adding to salad. I also used lime juice with a bit of sugar for the chicken breasts. One thing I would do different next time is to add a bit of salt to the chicken because they came out quited bland. Maybe the limade concentrate helps this. Thanks for the great recipe! It's a keeper!

Delicious salad! You don't use all the dressing - I had a lot left over. If you don't use all the dressing, you won't have all those calories and fat. It makes me angry to see all these bad reviews by people who didn't make the recipe just because they didn't take the time to carefully read it. I hope Allrecipes will remove those reviews and put in a comment about the amount of dressing being too much. I plan on making the salad again to use up the dressing I had left.

Too sweet. i even decreased the amt of sugar in the dressing and it was still way too sweet for me. All I could taste was sugar it was worse than eating a candy bar.

5 star for taste and ease and this recipe is easily lightened up for less fat and calories. A very good tasting salad. I made this once as directed and a second time 'lightened up". Like most salads all the fat and calories come from the dressing. So I just lightened up the dressing and voila! Same great taste and only a fraction of the calories. Lightened up version - chicken: I did not use limeade concentrate to coat the chicken. I just used straight, squeezed lime juice. dressing: 2 tablespoons of sugar, and only 1/4 c of oil leaving the remaining ingredients for the dressing intact. Then to compensate for the liquid I removed, I added some lime juice mixed with water. I blended all ingredients together for a wonderful salad dressing with much less calories. Just a small drizzle of dressing is all that is needed. salad: to save a few more calories, I only used about an 1/8 cup of pecans and crushed them up, then dusted them on top of the salad. This is a very good recipe as is, but there was not much difference in taste once it was lightened.

I love this recipe...I did make one change though which is why I only gave it 4 stars...I put sugar and cinnamon on the pecans and baked them in the oven before adding them to the salad...really made this salad phenominal!
