This was a double winner for me - first because I was looking for something a bit different to eat lunch, and two, because I almost never make salad with chicken (other than chicken breast), and this was not an easy thing to find, and was so easy to prepare! I didn't have the salad ingredients, so I substituted chicken powder for the dressing, and added garlic powder for the salt, and I think that was the best use for them. I did use Greek yogurt, and even that wasn't overly sweet (and I'm not alone in my dislike), so I don't see the point of sweet sauces--just put the ingredients in, and it will do. Just a side note, when you're making the salad, don't forget the garlic - I sprinkled garlic powder on the top just before serving, and that did not only add more flavor, it made the salad even more delicious.
