So I am hearing good things about this book so far. I absolutely loved it and can't wait to talk about it next week. I also got a request for the chicken salad recipe I used for dinner last night.
I got the recipe from here but I have to start by saying that I changed almost everything about the ingredients.
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts, cooked (grilled or boiled) and cut up in bite size pieces
1 apple chopped in bite size pieces. We prefer Fuji or Pink Lady apples.
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup walnut pieces

So when I made this I switched out the walnuts for pecans and the celery for grapes (I can't stand celery in my salads). We also added about 1.5 - 2 tsp of mustard. I thought it needed just a little more zing. That's all there was. Nothing too special. I'm glad you all liked it though!
Enjoy,
