Yummy Chicken Salad

Sorry for the long absence!!! Life has been a bit of a roller coaster the past few weeks.

It all started about 5 1/2 months ago when we decided to build a new home, and rent a home from a friend. Now we have moved into our new home and are getting unpacked and settled, along with my dealing with morning sickness. AHHH!!!

ON TO MORE RECIPES AND THE FUTURE, THOUGH!!!!

This recipe is such a yummy side dish, but I LOVE to have it as my main dish for lunch or dinner. :)  My mom's cousin used to make this when we were at Lake Powell boating. Needless to say, it quickly became a family favorite, and is such a nice refreshing dish on a hot summer day. I don't know about you, but summer around here is not seeming to let up any time soon, so why not try this crowd-pleaser. You won't regret that you tried it!! Enjoy!
