Chicken and Pepper Salad

This is an old family recipe. No summer was complete without this salad. The recipe is quick & easy & very refreshing. It’s also super delicious, particularly on a hot day. Make this when you have some left-over roast chicken (no bones, of course) or just go out and get some roast chicken especially to try this recipe. We use the horseradish Dijon for the bite it gives to the dish but just plain Dijon mustard can be used as well. Serves 2

The dressing is easy to make.
