    Hi...
    I made this up this morning for our dinner tonight...and I just had to sneak a little taste! It is going to be great! This makes a great meal for those hot summer nights (which we have a lot of here in south florida!). It is a really pretty and colorful salad too and would be great for a picnic or a potluck dinner. You can make it early in the morning and then just serve it up at dinner time....This is also a great recipe to use up any leftover chicken that you might have.
    Enjoy!
