My Own Famous Chicken Salad(Formerly A Secret Recipe) - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    6 chicken breasts
    1/2 c. slivered almonds, toasted
    1/2 c. pecans, toasted and chopped
    2 tsp. margarine or butter
    1/2 tsp. curry powder
    salt and pepper to taste
    1 1/2 c. California red grapes
    1 c. celery, chopped
    2 Tbsp. onion, chopped very fine
    2 Tbsp. lemon juice
    mayonnaise (Hellmann's)
Preparation
    Chop chicken in bite size pieces.
    Toast almonds and pecans separately in 1 teaspoon margarine each.
    (I do mine in the microwave, stirring at 1 minute intervals until lightly toasted.) Toss all ingredients with just enough mayonnaise to hold together. Better if made a day ahead (before adding mayonnaise) to allow flavors to blend.
    Green grapes may be substituted, but the salad will be more tart.
    Serve with crackers for a meal or make into sandwiches.
    Will make 8 to 10 large sandwiches or 12 to 20 dainty tea sandwiches.
    Recipe may easily be halved or doubled.
