Do you like chicken salad? A good chicken salad is creamy, a bit sweet, a bit salty, has some crunch in it and must have really tender chicken. One of my favorite chicken salads was served at a place I used to work and it was mayonnaise based with cashews. Yum - it brings back fond food memories. The reason I am sharing this recipe with you is because this chicken salad has all those components and more. The pineapple and grapes add sweetness, the green pepper and almonds add crunch and the curry powder gives it all a nice flavorful twist. Not to mention that it came from a dear friend of mine.
