But for reals, it’s been depressingly gloomy and rainy for days on end here and we are finally seeing the glorious sunshine, which is what brought that lyric loop into my brain. I’m over the moon about the sun.

The warmth brings out all the people, their pups, and cheery smiles. People can finally sit with friends over watermelon margaritas.

It’s the perfect time to serve up 20-Minute Mexican Style Chicken Salad. Plus, it’s Cinco de Mayo weekend, so I had to round our week out with plenty of kicked-up eats.

  3. It uses rotisserie chicken, which is my favorite grocery store creation
  4. It’s flexible. Goes with your choice of wraps (lettuce counts,) breads, chips, crackers, or even rice.
