Avocado & Shrimp Salad

I love avocado’s. This one fruit has all the goodness in it; fat, vitamins and deliciousness. They’re great mashed, cubed, sliced, diced and blended smooth. If I could grow my own, I would! However, in South Central Idaho, it’s difficult to grow many things, especially …

Chicken Salad with Ranch Dressing

Chicken Salad with Ranch Dressing

When you get tired of having Chicken for numerous meals in a row, sometimes it’s hard to decide what to do with the leftovers. If you are like I am, I don’t want to eat chicken three or four days in a row, I need a change-up. One of those change-ups comes in the form of a Chicken Salad made from leftover chicken. To me, it doesn’t matter if it’s just chicken breast or all parts of the chicken, it all makes a great Chicken Salad with tasty mixins.

I don’t normally keep Mayonaise or Miracle Whip on hand, it goes bad before I use it. But I do have Ranch dressing most of the time in the frig for all sorts of cooking or salad needs. Honey Mustard is a close second to keep on hand. I love the sweet tangy flavor not only for my salads, but to dip my fries in too. These two combos make for a delicious creamy flavor in my quick Chicken Salad made with leftover chicken breast.
