Strawberry Chicken Salad

"This is such a refreshing salad and presents beautifully. I found this in one of my Pilsbury Classic Cookbooks several years ago. I have served this many times and everyone loves it. If you like, serve with a small bowl of crumbled cheese on the side. Sometimes I just make up the dressing and serve it on a salad of baby lettuce, Jarlsberg Cheese, grapes, strawberries and toasted almonds or walnuts. Serve with a great crusty bread or roll."

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am a happily married to a husband who loves to eat. We have been together for 30 years and were best friends for 7 years prior. We have a beautiful 27 year old daughter who is living with us temporarily. I am a retail consultant who travels all over the U.S. and the UK?and I love my job. My favorite cookbook is Patti Labelle's Recipes to sing about. It is filled with great comfort food (no diet anything in this book). I love both to cook and bake, November and December are the best times in my kitchen. I was raised in a household with 4 generations, so it was customary for the women to spend endless hours cooking and baking. My great grandmother taught me how to bake using a wood burning stove. That is how we made all of our meals until I was about 14 years old. I am truly blessed with a wonderful family both here and beyond.
