    I used olive oil instead of canola oil. I also added a bit of red pepper flakes and fresh avocado. Next time will add bacon as well. Overall very tasty simple light summer recipe.

    I like it too. I cooked everything separate for 10 minutes then combined in a large bowl with marinara.

    This was an awesome summer salad. It was very refreshing. I added peas shredded carrots and cherry tomatos as well to add a crunch. I recieved many compliments on this salad. I also added fresh lemon juice to the dressing.

    I chopped the raw chicken into bite-sized pieces sprinkled liberally with lemon-pepper (aka use lots!) and added fresh chopped garlic and salt. Fast and easy but missing something.
