No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

"Who made the salad??"

That was a refrain from a long ago commercial for Seven Seas Salad Dressing. Who remembers this? Around the room the question is asked as people enjoy their salads, "Who made the salad?"  The ad's response was "Me, and Seven Seas!" But, this time, it was me! Not well known for my culinary delights, I do pull one off now and again. More than once Justin has complimented me on my chicken salad. I am good for making a few things which garner compliments.

This time I used some chicken breasts which I had marinated in Caesar dressing and then I baked them. We were running out of time to eat them for dinner so instead, I made chicken salad. The process started using the blitz hacker to chop the meat but then I switched to simply using Justin's Sharper Image knife from Nancy to cut the breasts into teeny pieces. Oh, it smelled so good, savory, I guess. 
All I do is mix the chicken with mayo and some pickle relish, plus a squirt of salad mustard, and it is done! I enjoyed it on bread and will have some more another time on crackers. I don't know why Justin worries about me starving to death---somehow I manage, and nicely so!
