Bamboo Shoot Salad

I felt inspired this morning! Got up early and made scrambled eggs & bacon, blueberry muffins with a Starbuck 's coffee for the "grande finale"! My youngest son, Ben got me a bag of the newest flavor of coffee and a "grande" mug for my birthday, and I've been giving both a workout. As I was sorting through recipes this morning, I found this interesting-sounding salad that I'm excited to try. Lettuce gets boring and I like any salad that includes chicken. I hope that you like this idea, too.
