Chicken Salad

I make a pretty good chicken salad. I'm not going to lie, it's often requested, especially on wine tasting trips or Hollywood Bowl nights. It's one of the easiest things I've ever learned how to make and lasts for a while in the fridge so you can make it a day or two ahead of whenever you want to serve it.

Chicken Salad

1 whole store bought roasted chicken (or you can cook your own chicken breasts)
1 1/5 cups red grapes, halved
3/4 - 1 cup celery, chopped
1 cup mayonnaise
1-2 tbsp. Mrs. Dash Table Blend, use to taste
1/2 - 3/4 cup slivered almonds (optional)

Remove skin from chicken, chop chicken into small bite sized pieces and place in large bowl. Add halved grapes, celery, mayonnaise and Mrs. Dash and mix together. Right before serving stir in slivered almonds. Serve on crusty bread, crackers, a bed of lettuce or inside a cantaloupe ring!
