We no longer live near a Chili’s so it has been YEARS since I have had this salad. It is my favorite and I have been craving it for some time. Definitely hit the spot and was easy to make! Thanks so much for sharing this!

  Thank you for taking the time to comment! I am so happy you liked it. It is my all time favorite salad, too. The dressing I make regularly at home, often with a simple arugula salad sprinkled with glazed pecans, dried cranberries and feta cheese (if you’re into that). <3
