3 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 cup thinly sliced celery
2 T. lemon juice
1 T. mined onion (I use dried onion)
½ cup mayo
½ t. salt

Curried Chicken Salad
1 ½ cup chopped cooked chicken breast
½ cup seedless grapes halved
½ cup diced peeled apple
2 T diced pineapple
1 T dried currants
3 T mayo
1 t. honey
½ t. curry powder
½ t fresh lemon juice
1/8 t. salt
1/8 t. black pepper
1 T sliced almonds, toasted (I use more than this and stir it into the salad. You can also use pecans)
Combine first 5 ingredients in a large bowl. Combine mayo and next 5 ingredients (through pepper), stirring with a whisk. Pour mayo mixture over chicken mixture. Toss gently to coat. Sprinkle with almonds (or stir into salad), cover and chill.
