Salads are difficult to mess up but I really liked the combination of the pear, spinach, chicken and poppyseed dressing. Who woulda thought it?

We used leftover Perfect BBQ chicken from another night. Nice subtle flavors. Even my sons liked it, but they used ranch dressing because they found the poppyseed dressing too sweet. Great for a HOT evening!

This is the best salad! And so simple. I used 2 chicken breast halves cut up instead of just the 1 cup and had this salad on a very hot humid night for supper. Perfect. The taste is so different, cool and refreshing as well as quite pretty to look at. I used a red skin pear which added some nice color.

Looks really good. We love to eat spinach as opposed to lettuce. We will be eating this for lunch tomorrow.

Realllly!!!!Really fast and just right on a hot summer day! Filling and not heavy on a hot day, just right with a cold glass of tea.

Used a different type of dressing, but the chicken and pears were good together. The pears added a nice bit of sweet-ness. It may've been better with the poppyseed dressing it called for.

Made this for a family gathering and it was a big hit. I took home an empty bowl. Very delicious.

I eat this salad at work 4-5 days a week. Somedays I vary the fruit, either strawberries or blueberries. It is excellent and very filling as well as nutritious. It has helped me as I have lost 40 pounds in the last several months.

Great recipe. I'm usually pretty traditional (French dressing) but the Poppyseed was excellent. Can't wait to try it again.
