Layered Caribbean Chicken Salad

‎07-01-2012 05:36 PM

/><br/> <br/> This is a super salad for a hot night. I do the chopping and layering early in the morning, get the dressing made and into the refrigerator it goes until supper time.<br/> <br/> My only suggestion is when you get the yogurt for the dressing, you'd better buy 2 of them. I usually double the dressing amount for this. Bob tends to be a tad heavy handed with it on his helping so a single batch isn't enough for the leftovers. I spoon half over the top of the salad and serve the other half on the side.<br/> <br/> It's really good-and pretty too!</span></div> <div><span style=
