Crunchy Chicken Salad
With the temperatures so high lately, we've been wanting something light to eat at night. When I saw this recipe on Pinterest, I knew this would be the perfect weeknight dinner.
This salad will also keep well in the refrigerator for several days, if you want to make it ahead of time for weekday lunches.
