I adored her and hope you will love her, and Amanda Wright and Tyler Justice, too!

In one of the opening scenes of Take A Chance On Me, Bette brings salads to The Wright Salon for lunch with Amanda, and I love a great salad, too. I’m sharing one of my favorites, Chicken & Apple Salad, that I found on The Recipe Critic’s website.
INGREDIENTS
- 8 ounces lettuce mix (recipe called for Spring mix, but I like romaine and bibb or butter lettuce!)
- 2-3 small apples sliced
- ⅓ cup roasted pecans
- ⅓ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup crumbled bleu cheese (I use feta as I’m not a blue cheese fan)
- Cooked and diced seasoned chicken (buy cooked Rotissiere if you don’t have team to cook your own)
- 1 lemon
Dressing
- ½ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
- 1 and ½ teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 shallot
- 1 clove garlic
- salt & pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
Chop chicken into bite sized pieces and roast or candy the pecans. Place lettuce in a large salad bowl, top with the pecans, cranberries, bleu cheese and chicken. Thinly slice apples, toss with lemon juice and add to salad bowl. For the dressing, finely mince garlic and shallots and combine with the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Toss with salad just before serving and Enjoy!

Jane! I’m so excited for your new book! I shared on my Facebook to friends I know in book clubs and avid readers. I also shared on my Instagram and emailed some friends including my mom who’s in her 70’s as she loves reading too. When I read your characters name, Gram, it has special meaning to me because that’s what I called my maternal grandmother. She passed when I was 16 but so many found memories, just like your character. Anyway thanks for the opportunity and good luck to all! I don’t go on Twitter all that much but if I can recall my password, I’ll share a tweet there too for your book. Lol
