Fruity Chicken & Gorgonzola Salad

Fruity Chicken & Gorgonzola Salad
Enjoy these long  hot days with some of the best things summer has to offer - tomatoes and cantalope. The protein of the chicken makes this salad a complete meal in one dish.  I love the sweetness of the fruit combined with the saltiness of the Gorgonzola.
