CANTALOUPE WITH CHICKEN SALAD

This recipe is one of my favorite ways to eat blueberries. That delicious fruit is just one of the important crops grown here in the fertile Willamette Valley. They're grown for commercial use, but we usually pick about 60 pounds each summer for pies and other dishes.

CANTALOUPE AND CHICKEN SALAD

From Betty Crocker's Quick & Easy Cookbook. You can use Honeydew Melon or pineapple chunks in place or in addition to the cantaloupe if you wish. It is NOT advisable to make this the day before and the water in the fruit will cause the salad to be watery and separate. Top with chopped pecans if you wish.
