Melanie's Chicken Curry Salad

• 4 cups shredded baked chicken
• 2 cups halved grapes
• 1 cup toasted sliced almonds
• 1 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup onions finely chopped
• ½ cup celery finely chopped
• 4 Tbs mild curry powder*
• ground black pepper
• salt

Bake one whole chicken (see Steve's Baked Chicken) or use one Cosco rotisserie chicken.

Remove skin and shred white and dark meat into bite-size pieces. It is better to pull the meat apart rather than cutting into pieces with a knife.

Add all the ingredients and mix well. (Curry power may be hot or mild or a mixture depending upon the desired degree of spiciness.) Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

*Note: There are many types of curry powder and they can make a big difference in the taste of this dish. The best brand of mild curry powder to use is "Spicely" organic curry powder which can be obtained at Whole Foods.
