Another contest

I entered another contest on FoodNetwork.com. It's for the Chairmen's Challenge from Iron Chef. The secret ingredient this month for the contest is Citrus. SO, I submitted my Vietnamese Chicken Salad. I make it alot and it's SO wonderful. It has a great combo of lime juice, cilantro, peanuts and chicken. And, it's really healthy for you!!!
