SPICY WARM CHICKEN SALAD
This hearty main-dish salad, sent in by Iola Egle of Bella Vista, Arizona, makes a great cool-weather entree. It's colorful, delicious and filled with the kind of heat that's great after a chilly football game or hike. Best of all, you can have it on the table in half an hour!
