Abuela Minnie's Chicken Salad


For as long as I can remember, my Abuela Minnie has made delicious meals...from decadent Lasagnas smothered in Marinara Sauces to Zucchini Breads to Thanksgiving Mojo cover Turkey to Carrot Cake topped with Cheese Frosting- - -just to name a few!

I like to believe that some of my culinary passion came from her devotion to cooking. Food is such a powerful tool- it brings families together, creates memories and shows others how much you care.
The first time I tried her Chicken Salad, was on a Beach Vacation two summers ago...

This dish is the perfect component to any summer picnic, bible study, day at the beach, or even for a luncheon in honor of your best friend!
