  • 1 cup finely chopped celery
  • ½ cup finely chopped scallions or mild onion
  • 1 cup halved seedless green or red grapes

  • Cutting board
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, add the orange juice, mayonnaise and herbs and mix well.
  2. Add the diced chicken, celery, scallions, grapes and nuts and toss lightly.

Note: Adding a teaspoon or two of curry to step #2 gives you a tasty adventure.
