Tips

• For a more flavorful salad, try using grilled chicken instead of cooked chicken.

• If you don't have plum jam, you can substitute another type of jam, such as raspberry or strawberry.

• For a lower-fat salad, try using grilled chicken instead of cooked chicken and omit the blue cheese.

• This salad can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Add the dressing right before serving.
