Mango Salad

From Shandi...

Spring Salad Mix (I get it at Sam's Club)

Mango chunks (or use peaches if your family doesn't like mangoes)

Creamy poppy seed salad dressing

Tortilla chip strips (I buy them from Bajio)

Candied walnuts (or pecans or almonds)

Combine all ingredients just before serving.

To make candied nuts:

Place 1 cup of nuts and 1/2 cup sugar in a saute pan. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently with a silicone scraper. Sugar will melt and begin sticking to the nuts. When the nuts are covered with white sugary clusters, pour hot nuts onto aluminum foil. Spread out and let cool.

Chicken Salad Sandwich

From Angie...

2 cans of chicken (12.5 oz.)

1 cup mayo (I usually use less than this)

1 cup coleslaw dressing

2 cups cooked and cooled shell noodles

1/4 cup green onions chopped

1 cup pineapple drained and cut

2 cups red grapes cut in half

2 cups diced red apples (leave on the peel)

2 cups sliced celery

1 1/2 cups cashew nuts

Mix everything together except the apples and cashews (add these right before serving). Let chill for 2 hours, I like this inside croissant rolls. So refreshing on a summer day!
