Chick Salad a tester recipe for joanna at Yellow Rose Recipes

Is there such a thing as a food soulmate? I'm lucky to be a tester for Joanna's new cookbook Yellow Rose Family and so far am loving all the recipes. They are right up my cooking alley and style. Some are versions of recipes that I've made for myself over the years and others are dishes I've always wanted to make. I believe her meals and my belly are a match made in heaven.

The Chick Salad above is my new current favorite dish. It has grapes in it! I've never heard of such a thing. It was the first recipe I've tested since my move this past weekend and I've already made it twice and will make it a third time this weekend when Peter goes away.

I even turned it into an appetizer below:

This was good...really good. Nice and creamy and a little sweet. I think it might become our new standby pasta dinner.
