Yes, it would make an excellent dish for Marta's pool party- however,

I don't know if I will be back from a trip in time to go to the party-

so anybody else thinking of making it feel free!

Recipe for Elle (Thai Chicken Noodle Salad)

OT

Elle-

I was looking through the August Family Circle and came across this

recipe, maybe it's the recipe you had asked for? Note that PER

SERVING...this has 35 GRAMS OF PROTIEN....yikes! Also, it doesn't

seem that difficult to make- I would probably toss in some " whole "

peanuts...just to add variety and more protien.
