FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD
The amounts listed are only a guideline since I don't even bother measuring please feel free to adjust all ingredients to suit taste but please try not to omit anything all the ingredients blend together perfectly! You could use all mayonnaise but I prefer half mayonnaise and yogurt or sour cream for a lighter texture, if you are making this in advance then add in the diced apple just before serving. If you are a curry-lover then try adding in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon curry powder into the mayo mixture, I think you will be quite surprised at the taste! This is one of the best recipes for chicken salad!... For a luncheon, double or triple the complete recipe and serve this on a bed of lettuce with tomato wedges around the chicken salad then sprinkle more toasted almonds on and around the chicken salad... your guests will rave!

LEMONY CHICKEN FRUIT SALAD
Meet the Cook: Back in the 1950's, I was a home economist for the electric company, which is how I came across this recipe. During spring and summer, when it is hot here, my family especially likes it. (My husband and I have two children and a pair of granddaughters, all grown.) I've also found this chicken salad is good for women's luncheons and covered-plate meals since it's so different. -Johnece Stuard, Mansfield, Texas

Tips:
- Use a variety of fruits: This will add flavor and color to your salad. Some good options include grapes, strawberries, blueberries, oranges, and pineapple.
- Choose a light dressing: A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it less refreshing. A simple vinaigrette or yogurt dressing is a good choice.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and tough. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or about 10 minutes per side.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors meld and make the salad more refreshing.
- Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce: This will add extra freshness and crunch.
