Curried Chicken Salad

This is a savory-sweet variation on an old favorite. Leftover turkey works at least as well as chicken. Great as a sandwich filling, particularly on whole-grain bread that has a little crunch of its own, like wheat berry.

3 cups coarsely-chopped cooked chicken -- (approx 1 lb)
1 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds
1/2 cup white grapes, cut in half
1/2 cup real mayonnaise
2 tablespoons mild or sweet curry powder (or more to taste)
Salt -- to taste
Freshly-ground black pepper -- to taste


Combine first 6 ingredients in large bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to blend thoroughly. Let rest in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes for flavors to blend. Serve heaped on lettuce, or in sandwiches.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
