Today was my Maggie's birthday. She was born in 1999. She passed away at age 14. She was Scottish, a McNab, named for the man who bred these dogs.. Generally McNabs are black and white and "occasionally red and white"... being a "red head" and Scottish I named her Maggie after my red headed Scottish mother, Margaret.
So missed every day! ♥
Make yourself a salad with lettuce, halved grape tomatoes, avocado, canned corn, cucumber, sliced radishes, and/or any other ingredients you like. Then shred some cooked chicken on top and mix all together.

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup sour cream
2 T. snipped fresh cilantro
1 T. lime juice
