I was recently told be my doctor I had to lose weight. I hate to admit it but I am 50 pounds over weight. It never bothered my husband bless his heart. It did me, but not enough to do something about it. Now I don't have a choice. Which is good in a way. I have no excuses left. I am getting off track here. This post is about the recipe. My husband loves this salad. Even though he has no weight problem. (Don't you just hate that!) The recipe is from Hungry Girl. It is so good. I will be taking it to Heidi's tonight.

Michelle just left after unsuccessfully trying to teach me how to crochet... I am crochet challenged. This asian chicken salad is YUMMY! I make a full calorie version and I think hers is every bit as good.
ReplyDeleteMichelle,
