"Tender" Salad with Chicken and Cucumber

A wonderfully tasty salad with chicken breast and hard cheese! I couldn't wait to share this one. This "Tender" salad is as pretty as it is good—there's a real reason I recommend it. The interplay of white and red on the plate is a treat for the eyes. And while you can eat it to your heart's content, the tomatoes here are more decoration than substance. Give this tender chicken salad a try and I'm sure you'll love it. This is a recipe I'm genuinely excited to pass along. It fits any occasion, and the salad really does turn out tender and delicious.
