I’ve been invited to a Churrasco, to celebrate Diwali. I decided to bring chicken macaroni salad. It has become a tradition among my friends to bring something when invited to these neighborhood parties. Instead of a bottle of wine, we often bring a dish.
Let me share my recipe for chicken macaroni salad.
