This was a great salad for a very hot evening! I would reduce the amount of hard salami to 1/4 lb and increase the amount of chicken to 4 cups. It can certainly be adjusted to fit individual preferences. If you are not planning to serve a large crowd and will be keeping it for later, I would keep the dressing to serve on the side as the salad mix becomes a little soggy for most tastes. I also put it on a pita pocket today (I made it 4 days ago and it was still very good)!
