\u00a0There are certain recipes we southern girls must know how to prepare: \u00a0grits, sweet tea, and chicken salad, among others. When we found out we would be moving from Atlanta to Syracuse, my University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) \u00a0roommate gave me a going away gift to remember the South and all of its glorious food.<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Everyone knows Paula Deen, but not too many people are familiar with her cousin who is also a great southern cook. \u00a0She even has her own cookbook, “<\/a>Cooking in the South with Johnnie Gabriel<\/em>.”<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

My friend even had Johnnie write a little note to us about our move to the North. \u00a0Once we were settled in here in upstate New York, I studied \u00a0the beautiful book and decided to make the chicken salad. \u00a0It was very easy and so delicious. The first time I fed it to my northern friends was during a tailgate party at the Army\/Navy game. \u00a0They almost licked the bowl.<\/h3>\n

Since it is now warm enough for picnics and light summer meals, \u00a0I wanted to share this recipe with you. \u00a0I have a feeling it might become one of your favorites.<\/h3>\n
