VERY NICE TASTING SALAD, & worthy of making yet again! I enjoyed the combo of not just the grapefruit & nuts, but also the yoghurt dressing! I did, however, omit the red chili, although another time I might just add a bit of the milder green one! Thanks for a nice variation of the chicken salad!

July 2008 update: VERY happy to be back on Zaar after about a two year absence due to having had no internet connection at home, and having been too unwell for a time so that getting re-connected wasn't even a priority!
<br>
<br>And really looking forward to getting back into the Zaar world and connecting again with the many wonderful people I knew before, and new people, of course!
