Cashew Chicken Salad

I like salads with lots of little viddles in them. This salad is not only delicious, but has lots of little viddles. MMMM....

I mixed it up a bit with respect to the type of lettuces I used, but hey...that's how I role.

The dressing for this salad is the BOMB. I think I'd make it for more than just this salad. You'll want to double this recipe for sure
