There are many
versions of Chicken Salad Veronique, and it has graced the plate of many a
ladies' luncheon. Essentially is it just chicken salad with grapes and nuts.
It's popular because it is always good, and it can be seasoned to suit any
taste. I happen to like my chicken salad with a touch of curry. I think it
makes it much more interesting, particularly when served on a sandwich, so that
the flavor really comes through.
Nutty Chicken Salad Veronique
2 cups cubed cooked chicken
1 cup seedless green grapes, halved
1/2 cup toasted pecan halves, rough chopped
1/2 cup chopped celery
