Crunch Lunch

As the week is winding down, the groceries in the pantry are dwindling too, in preparation for our move to the sailboat on Sunday.

I was able to put together this fabulous lunch salad today, with a couple of my favorite pantry essentials....  Mann's Broccoli Slaw and Kirkland canned chunk chicken breast, along with and a few other ingredients.

This salad first came to my attention when one of my buddies posted it on the Weight Watchers site, and she calls it Crunch Lunch.  Of course the possibilities for variations and additions are unlimited.  The dressing is my own and I love it, but you can use your favorite soy ginger dressing if you prefer.
