Chili Lime Chicken Salad

I love a good salad but for whatever reason I have trouble assembling a decent salad on my own. I always draw a blank on what to put in my salad. You see I grew up eating Iceberg Lettuce salads with carrots, cucumber and radishes… I hate radishes. So in my mind salads are pretty…
