I wanted to have several lady friends over for a lite lunch meal on a hot Summer's day years back. Pondering on what to serve them, I came up with the idea of offering several interesting salads. Mandarin Salad sounded so good. After tasting it, I was stunned to have discovered such a refreshingly enjoyable dish. Why it was fit for a queen so I knew I had found the main salad for the get together. I can hardly wait to make it so you may see it in picture. It tastes every bit as good as it looks.

Here is the promised pic of this delicious chicken salad.

Note that I used red seedless grapes, but I find the green ones to be more appealing to the eye.
