Fruit and Chicken Salad
This was one of my mom's favorite recipes.
3 cups diced leftover chicken
2 cups white grapes -- cut in half
1 cup pecan haves or pieces
1 1/2 cups finely minced celery
1 large apple finely diced (optional)
1 cup pineapple (fresh is best, but canned or frozen will work)
1 juicy orange
1 1/2 cups mayo
onion powder to taste (I use 1/2 teaspoon)
Combine mayonnaise woth onion powder and juice from the orange and set aside.
Mix the remaining ingredients and fold in dressing.
Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
