Nanny's Chow Mein Chicken Salad image

Nanny, my kids' great grandmother on their dad's side, shared this recipe with me 18 years ago when she lived with us. This is a nice salad that's easy to make, light, healthy, & is a wonderful way to use up any left-over chicken you may have In the fridge. Nanny was a cook in the school cafeteria, and this is a salad she made...

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I also like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra protein.
