CHICKEN SALAD DELUXE
Buttermilk dressing,macaroni,grapes,almonds and water chestnuts give chicken salad a new twist. Given to me by a dear friend, this is delish! This serves 20! Due to the chill times, prep and cook times do not include overnight chill. If you are unable to find Beau Monde(by Spice Islands) at your grocery store, it is available online. It's a great all around spice that I bought after tagging recipe #184001.
