Chicken Salad Tips -

Ripe Avocado

Avocado should give a little when pressed with finger. Stiff and its not ripe, squishy and its over ripe.

Chicken Salad Tips -

Walnuts

Toast walnuts in the oven on very low temperature like 200 F. Place walnuts on baking sheet and toast until the natural sugars begin to caramelize and brown the walnuts. Makes the kitchen smell great.
