Zupas @ Home: Pina Colada Chicken Salad

If you know me you know that this is my favorite salad and I've been having withdrawals. I haven't had it since my wedding night at the reception (yes, Zupas catered - best decision EVER)... I had this salad recipe I was planning on making for dinner last night but then got the brilliant idea to look up pina colada salad dressing recipes - I was craving it big time! I picked this one because it was so simple to make. It turned out SUPER delicious and really hit the spot!

We ate this salad for dinner with our chicken warm - right out of the oven (yummy).

And had our chicken cold for lunch the next day (yummy).

Either works.

Oh, how I love pinterest! - Check out my "yummy" board with all the amazing food I would love to make someday. I'm actually amazed at how much I enjoy finding recipes and making meals. Lucky Tay Tay.

My mom sent us these AMAZING Tupperware containers! Perfect for salads! (I also used it for a burrito the other day- tortilla and beans/rice in bottom so it could be microwaved, toppings on top with sour cream in the center.) Martha Stewart is amazing! Found at Macy's.
