HELP - I received a call from my Director who was clearly VERY sick, and is on the way to the doctor. She has a show tonight that she needs me to do for her. Hostess has purchased ingredients for what my Director called "Southwest Chicken Salad" :confused: ....which I did not find under the recipe search in CC.

I do not make any form of salads at my shows. I do not eat salads. I hardly eat vegetables of any kind! Therefore, would like to review the recipe and make me a "cheat page" before this afternoon; as I will not have time once I get off work and rush to get to this show!

Does anyone have this recipe?

TIA,
R.Wester

Southwest Chicken SaladGot it. It's the Cajun Chicken Salad from the Casual Cooking Cookbook. Since we don't have the Cajun seasoning anymore, she just uses the Southwestern instead.
Thank-x!
