Hi everyone!
Well, after a long morning , I wanted to treat myself to a nice lunch. When I looked in the fridge and saw all that leftover chicken from the other night, I got excited.
Very excited.
Fall is a time for new beginnings and what better way to start off the season than with a new cooking attitude and a new chicken salad recipe?
Enjoy my newest creation, perfectly blending sweet and savory.
