Catch Up: Valentines Floor Picnic 2/14/13

For Valentines dinner I made a charming (errr cheap) picnic in our living room. I made chicken salad lettuce wraps.

Mandy's Chicken Salad:
4 chicken breasts, roasted or boiled in salt water, cooled and shredded
2 cups red grapes, cut in half, hot dog not hamburger length
1 rib of celery, diced in very small pieces
1/2 cup walnuts, chopped and toasted
2 tablespoons tarragon (more if you like it, I really load it in there, but do what makes you happy)
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise  (only EVER use Hellmann's, unless of course you don't give a shit about how your food tastes, and in that case, why bother in the first place)

Mix all this together, if it looks dry add more mayo, but remember that the salad will soak up some of the mayo, so add a little more than you think you need. I made lettuce wraps, but you can make a nice sandwich topped with tomatoes and romaine.

I also made pasta salad, fruit salad, caprese skewers, croissants, sliced white cheddar cheese with boysenberry preserves and personal chocolate mousse cake.
