MYRTLE BEACH'S BEST CHICKEN SALAD

from Marilyn Chewning and friends, Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce
Prepared by Charlie Chase
Ingredients:
3 chicken breasts (cooked) - use kitchen shears to cut in pieces so that it is
    not stringy
4 small green onions, chopped fine
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 pod white seedless grapes, cut in half
1 can (3.25 oz) black olives, chopped or cut in slices
1/2 (15 oz) can bean sprouts (optional)
1/2 (15 oz) can sliced water chesnuts
1 2-oz jar diced pimento or 1/2 to 3/4 fresh pimento, diced
1/2 cup sliced almonds (or pecans)
1/2 teaspoon Curry powder
1/2 teaspoon dill weed
salt & pepper to taste
 
Directions:
1.  Place all ingredients (except chicken) on paper towels for at least one hour to drain.

2.  Mix together all ingredients in bowl and refrigerate overnight, or at least 4 hours so that flavors blend.

3.  Mix with mayonnaise (amount to your taste) shortly before serving. Only put mayo on the amount that you plan to use. It keeps better and stays fresh longer without the mayo.

4.  Serve on bed of lettuce or on your favorite bread. About 4 servings.
