Transfer to food processor along with remaining dressing ingredients and blend thoroughly. Keep the dressing at room temperature up to 1 day in advance. Otherwise, store in the refrigerator and return to room temperature before serving.

NOTES : Serve pyramids of cooked chicken, slivered vegetables and baby lettuce greens on a black plate for drama. In the original recipe, the chicken was roasted without seasoning. Skin the chicken and chill. You may also use citrus (pollo loco) or honey roasted (KFC) left-overs.
