Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breasts
  • 1/2 c. slivered almonds, toasted
  • 1/2 c. pecans, toasted and chopped
  • 2 tsp. margarine or butter
  • 1/2 tsp. curry powder
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 1/2 c. California red grapes
  • 1 c. celery, chopped
  • 2 Tbsp. onion, chopped very fine
  • 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
  • mayonnaise (Hellmann's)

Method

  • Chop chicken in bite size pieces.
  • Toast almonds and pecans separately in 1 teaspoon margarine each.
  • (I do mine in the microwave, stirring at 1 minute intervals until lightly toasted.) Toss all ingredients with just enough mayonnaise to hold together. Better if made a day ahead (before adding mayonnaise) to allow flavors to blend.
  • Green grapes may be substituted, but the salad will be more tart.
  • Serve with crackers for a meal or make into sandwiches.
  • Will make 8 to 10 large sandwiches or 12 to 20 dainty tea sandwiches.
  • Recipe may easily be halved or doubled.
