Chipotle Chicken Salad

I love salads for dinner, and this one has it all! It is super flavorful and has tons of yummy veggies and with the chicken in it, it has protein as well. It is super healthy and easy to throw together. You could easily throw in other ingredients into this salad as substitutes.  Read the recipe after the jump!
