YUM. The only way I can describe this salad. This is my go to and one of my absolute all time ultimate favs.

There’s something about the flavoursome chicken, combined with creamy dreamy homemade mayo and Culley’s Chipotle Sauce  that my palate just really agrees with. I eat this salad often and its regularly featured on my blog.

Today I thought I would share with you the actual recipe for it alongside a crunchy coleslaw. If there’s one recipe you try from this series – please make it this one. You will NOT regret it!
