“Wow, this is so easy and delicious! I used a Sam’s Club rotisserie chicken and everything else in the recipe, with the exception of the black beans. I only had Bush’s spicy pinto beans, so I used them. I had made guacamole yesterday, so that really worked” — a cook, 5.0★
“Okay, I knew you were an AMAZING baker but I tried this recipe last night. HUGE HIT. I love all these fresh ingredients and had everything ready to 'go' when dinner time hit. Thank you so much. The dressing is AMAZING and I will be using it on lots of salads. ” — a cook, 5.0★
