I love it when I pull out the old neighborhood recipe books that have been in my cupboard for years. It makes me reminisce about friends and neighbors I haven’t seen in decades.  (Wow, that makes me sound really old!)   I made this Chicken and Rice Fruit Salad from one of those recipe books.  I love all kinds of chicken salads and this one I have to say is right at the top of the list.   I just can’t get enough salad during the summer and this was a perfect recipe for a hot day.   It is good enough to be a meal in itself!   This is definitely another favorite of ours and is perfect to bring to that summer potluck barbecue!!
