ZIPPY CHICKEN SALAD
I had some left over smoked chicken and wanted a differnt chicken salad. My family loved this version. This dressing would work equally well on roasted or grilled chicken. It just gives the salad a little more zing! (I also used this dressing on coleslaw :) for fish tacos. ) Enjoy!

ZIPPY RADISH SALAD
Meet the Cook: I admit to it - the first time I prepared this salad for my husband, he was skeptical! He loved it, though. Served with a rich entree or hot barbecue, it makes a light a refreshing side dish. Growing up during World War II, when food and money were scarce, I learned from my mother how to make a little go a long way. Now that we've retired and moved from the city, we're living in a mountain home we built on the side of the Shenandoah Valley. -Carol Stevens, Basye, Virginia
