How fun! Everything looks delicious. I totally need to find some food blogging friends to do something like that with!

ReplyDeleteEverything looks good, and you know me, I'm all over the chicken salad. And good for you for replicating that salad so beautifully. Love that kind of success.
I'm so jealous! I wish I had food blogging friends! Your Roasted Tomato Vinaigrette looks so yummy! Do you think it would work with Roasted Red Bell Peppers too? I love your creativity using all the fresh fruit!
