On sweltering days like most of us have been experiencing this summer, the stove and oven are off limits in our house. It's just too hot to even think about turning them on, so salads are a perfect go-to meal for those kinds of days. While there is chicken in this recipe, the great thing about that is it uses a prepared rotisserie chicken from the grocers, which not only saves time, it saves you from having to add any extra heat to your kitchen. The homemade poppy seed dressing is the perfect pairing for this fruit-filled salad. I usually add a raspberry vinaigrette to my fruity salads, but I think the poppy seed dressing is my new favorite. It's creamy and not too heavy, so you can eat it on the worst heat days without feeling weighed down. I plan on having this salad many more times this season while the fruit is at its peak, and I encourage you to try it as well!
