Nacho Chicken Salad (Dairy, Gluten and Grain Free)

By Irene Shaver @hhwife
Another quick meal which has used up a lot of garden ingredients.  This is a hearty salad, that can be eaten as a full meal.  The cashews in the dressing, as well as the chicken add some needed protein for energy throughout the day.  We enjoyed this recipe and hope you do as well.
