Curried Chicken Salad
Been a while! Love this recipe - but loved it more with some changes.
Adapted from a recipe at Cooking.com
INGREDIENTS
2-3 tablespoons chutney
1/3 cup light mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon curry powder (or a little more to taste)
1/2 cup raw sliced almonds (or chopped whole almonds)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 1/2 cups 2 red or green grapes, quatered
1. In a small mixing bowl stir together chutney, light mayonnaise, and curry powder.
2. In a large bowl combine chicken, grapes, and chopped almonds. Add mayonnaise mixture and mix well. Cover and chill for 2 to 24 hours.
That's it!

Cherry Almond Chicken Salad
OK...everyone has a Chicken Salad recipe, but this is really great. I will not call it the best chicken salad or the pen-ultimate chicken salad, but it is pretty darn close.
Ingredients:
2 cups cooked and diced chicken (great use of the chicken from the soup recipe)
2 stalks celery, diced
1/2 cup dried cherries
1/3 cup almond thin slices (raw are best, but use what you have)
1/2 cup Mayo or Miracle Whip (use to taste)
salt and pepper to taste.
Steps.
Throw everything in a bowl and mix like mad!
If you are using the chicken from the chicken soup, then it will break apart as you stir. This is quite alright. If you are using grilled chicken, then it will hold its shape. Either way, it is fantastic.

Egg Salad
Egg Salad
NOTE: OK...this is kinda silly, such a simple recipe. But this is an updated version of what my grandmother (Meta Beer) made. I loved her egg salad, but I hate what I get elsewhere because it is so-mayo-nasiey (is that even a word). Not much, but it is very good.
Mix these ingredients fully
• 5 Hard Boiled Eggs (diced small – twice in a standard egg slicer)
• 1 cup Celery (diced small)
• ¼ + pinch (to taste) teaspoon Paprika
• ¼ teaspoon Ground mustard powder
• 1/3 cup light mayonnaise or Miracle Whip
