So I decided to try the GI (Glycemic Index) diet, and I found this recipe on the official web site for Rick Gallop's book, http://www.gidiet.com/en-us/recipes.php?recipe=Southwest+Chicken+Salad . As I understand it, this recipe was submitted to Mr. Gallop by one of his readers. I've made a couple of slight changes, to suit my taste.
