It was a busy day yesterday and I needed something quick to put on the table for dinner. I didn’t feel like do anything elaborate so I figured a whole meal salad might fit the bill. I was craving something like this salad and as luck would have it my grocery store had fried chicken fingers on sale (I admit it, they had me at fried). This salad was a snap to put together and allowed me the opportunity to enjoy my evening with my family rather than slaving over a hot stove. Please note that you can add additional vegetables as desired - I just used what I had on hand. Red bell peppers, green onions, sugar snap peas and/or water chestnuts would be wonderful in this salad.
