Toss in the Flavor with a Sassy Chicken Salad Recipe

May is National Salad Month, and the kids and I are celebrating by making a tasty chicken salad using Redpack tomatoes! This Sassy Chicken Salad recipe is great for picnics and lunch time fun!

Yummy Tomato Goodness!

So you might remember that we have cooked with Redpack Tomatoes before with the Authentic Gravy recipe for Carnivale. Redpack Tomatoes have a nice flavor for the canned variety of tomatoes. They cook well too. Using something with a lot of flavor makes for some great recipes! I love to use fresh ingredients, and Redpack always gives that fresh taste for when my kids eat the last of my tomatoes in the produce bins in the fridge! Needless to say, this is a staple I always keep in my pantry.
