Chicken Broccoli Stir Fry Salad

     It's summer and we're surrounded with beautiful and colorful vegetables and fruits. Our good friend and neighbor shared with us a big pack of salad vegetables with cucumber dip. It had broccoli, snow peas and carrots in it. Instead of eating it raw i cooked it like a stir fry.
