Sue’s Oriental Salad

There are times when you just meet people that you know were sent directly from God. There is no coincidences about these types of friendships and my parents had this exact experience meeting Gary and Sue. It was a random Saturday when Mom and Dad were looking at houses. They met this sweet couple in one of the model homes. Both families purchased homes in the same neighborhood and they became best friends ever since. To this day, even though Mom and Dad are no long with us, Gary and Sue are still family to my brother and I, as well as their children. Sue made this salad one day and brought it over to the house and Mom and I were hooked! It was delicious and super easy to make! I was about 12 years old and I remember writing down this recipe immediately. I still have my hand written notes. Mom and I would make this often and I hope you do too!! Add some grilled chicken to this, which we always did too, and it’s a whole meal! Enjoy - and cheers to the many friendships God has placed in our lives!
