Garden Veggie Salad with Creamy Balsamic Dressing

I first had a similar salad at California Chicken Cafe in LA and if you’ve never been there, run don’t walk. Everything there is insanely good. This is my take on one of their salads. At the restaurant they add rotisserie chicken which you could totally add if you are serving this as an entree!
