  1. A few shortcuts I have found cut down the prep time and the salad is still delicious: 1. Use prepackaged cooked and sliced chicken tenders or canned chicken in water. 2. Ready salad mix works just as well. 3. Serve dressing and chow mein noodles on the side. That way, you can store the leftovers. This recipe makes a lot of salad, enough for two meals for 4 people. May have to cut it back by half for a small family.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

<p>I am a Yankee transplant to the low country. My mom was English, so my cooking style reflects this. My favorite cookbook was McCall's Cookbook which is no longer in print. I've been married to a gourmand for 41 years, so I get lots of practice cooking. We have three daughters that I share recipes with and seven grandchildren -- none old enough to cook yet, but I think we have some budding chefs!</p>
