B-E-A-utiful day!oeasyse

It was beautiful weather day...like perfection. The kind of day you just want to lay on a blanket under the sun in a cozy long sleeved tee with a good pair of kaki shorts and tennis shoes (cute earring and hair done with a poof of course to off set the casual outfit...my idea of the perfect spring outfit...if you switch up the tennis shoes for rainbows...anyways).

It was nice - so we sat outside and played in the backyard.

And the springy weather made me crave a good chicken sandwich...and thanks to one of my best friends in college, Meredith, I learned how to make a PERFECT simple chicken salad during one of our many spring break trips to Florida. I still make it and LOVE it! You should to...it is soooo easy!

Ingredients (or as Pioneer Woman calls them...the Cast of Characters!)

• Shredded Chicken (i had a breast and a half of chicken left over from a dinner this week, so I threw them in the oven with salt, pepper & olive oil and cooked for 25 min)
• 1/2 red onion chopped
• several grapes cut up (red or green will do)
• any kind of nut (almonts, pecan, walnuts)...p.s. - i am not a "nut" girl, but i like slivered almonds in this!!
• mayo
• relish
• sugar / sweetener
• salt & peppa

Then you just mix it all together. Use as much or as little as all of the ingredients. Watch out on the mayo though...a little goes a long way and I honestly probably squirt in NO MORE than two tablespoons. And the sugar? Yes, add it. Trust me...no, trust Meredith!

Mmmm....made for a yummy dinner while the husband is away :). Went very well with my sweet tea!
