Last night I made the fresh squeezed lemonade and the Asian salad.
We loved the lemonade. It really hit the spot! I don't think I've ever made my own lemonade before, but I will definitely do it again. I only had 5 lemons and I got just about 3/4 cup of lemon juice, so I had to use bottled lemon juice to make up the rest. And I used 2 limes to get the 1/4 cup of lime juice. I ended up putting six cups of water in, plus over a cup of ice cubes that melted down and then ice in our glasses as well. I think it was just the right amount of sweetness.
I really liked the salad as well. It isn't something my husband would normally request/get excited about for dinner, but he was a good sport :) He actually said he enjoyed it. I marinated the chicken in some teriyaki marinade before hand. And I left the snap peas and the celery out of the salad. Other than that I made it exactly how the recipe called for. I would make this salad again for sure, and like Jacki said, I think it would be perfect for a girl's luncheon, a shower, etc. I loved how healthy it was...hardly even any oil in the dressing. And I was also excited to come home from the hot park today and have some nice cool, crunchy leftover salad.
I haven't made the mousse yet, but have all of the ingredients. I'll have to post about it later in the week.

Good idea to marinate the chicken before hand. Also, your lemonade picture is beautiful - like straight out of a cookbook or something.
Nice pictures & good review. I'm really looking forward to trying the lemonade as my husband drinks lemonade everyday :) I also think that I'm going to have the same reaction to the salad from my family as you did. Hopefully, they will surprise me & like it as I'm sure that I will
