I made this dish for a band dinner (multiplied by 50), adding more vegetable toppings and a tofu option. Everyone loved it, and it was easy to put together, even with the larger size. I think next time I might marinate the chicken (and tofu, if I use it) so it has a little more flavor. I WILL make this again - the dressing was easy, tasty, and went well with the meal.
