Curried Chicken Salad with Fruit

I'm on a roll tonight...Here's another "salad" recipe. It's light and perfect for summer. It also tastes good in mini croissant sandwiches. What I like about this is almost everything is from a can or jar.

CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD WITH FRUIT

Ingredients:

3 cans of Kirkland chunk chicken (drained and shredded)
1 can of pineapple chunks (drained and cut into smaller chunks)
1 can of mandarin oranges (drained)
1 can of water chestnuts (drained and cut into small chunks)
1/2 cup (or more depending on your preference) of mayo or sandwich spread
1 tsp of curry powder (or more)
soy sauce
black pepper
thinly sliced green onion tops
sliced honey roasted almonds (you can buy this bagged)
*variation: you can use sliced red grapes instead of pineapple chunks
**You can also use real chicken breast that's been boiled and shredded by hand

Shred the chicken and add the first 5 the ingredients in a large bowl. Add the soy sauce and curry powder to taste. Do not add so much soy sauce that it turns brown! WRONG!!! Just add enough to taste it slighly. I also like to add fresh cracked black pepper. I usually garnish with the sliced green onions. Almonds should be served separately so it doesn't get soggy. Serves a lot of people!

Does it have to be Kirkland? Do you have a sponsor now?

i guess you could use anothe brand, but Kirkland comes in bulk, plus it's cheaper and the cans seem to be bigger than the puny ones in the regular stores...
