Healthy Shredded Chicken Salad

We have high 95F (35C) again today!

Last night, I had a good time with my friends. I got ambitious!!! I thought I need to try something new when I have time. Now I am thinking of signing up for a course that I wanted to take for a long time. I'm going to attend an orientation session the week after next... will see!


Today I will translate my gorgeous award-winning chicken salad recipe :) I won a prize at Pietro dressing - green (tasty soy sauce and grated onion based dressing that contains less oil and calories) contest before.

You know what!? I just searched about the course I said I wanna take and found that it is extremely expensive compared to the other similar qualifications. Some people say that this association gathers the money for their operational costs :(
I think I need to search more before I decide...

Okay, have a good weekend ;)
