Tasty Chicken Salad

Found this recipe on cooks.com, and it was just the thing for dinner tonight. I made it with morning star farms vegetarian chick'n strips, but I see no reason it'd taste much different with real chicken. Of course, when you've got a dish made with fake chicken that even TheGirl (a foul foe of faux fowl) deems a tasty meal, why bother? A bag of chik'n strips is about 2 c. when diced, so either open two bags, or scale this by 2/3. Here's the recipe:

CURRIED CHICKEN AND GRAPE SALAD

3 c. diced, cooked chicken
1 1/2 c. thinly sliced celery
1 c. green seedless grapes
1 tbsp. lemon juice
1 1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 tsp. curry powder
6 tbsp. mayonnaise
3 tbsp. toasted* slivered almond
Lettuce

Combine chicken, celery, grapes, lemon juice, salt, pepper, curry powder, and mayonnaise in salad bowl. Toss lightly. Chill well. Garnish with almonds; serve on lettuce. Yield: 6 servings.

* Toast nuts in the microwave. 3 Tablespoons of nuts in a small bowl for 1 or 2 minutes at high ought to do the trick!
