Curry Chicken Salad Fit for a Queen (Really!)

It's a snow/ice day here in Nashville.  We had plenty of warning, so I stocked up at Aldi and Costco this weekend and was cooking all day yesterday.  One dish I made was a yummy curry chicken salad using meat from a Costco rotisserie chicken ($4.99 can't beat it).  This recipe is from my Jr. League of Northern Virginia cookbook and was served to the Queen Elizabeth when she visited the University of Virginia in 1976.  It's a good one...enjoy!

Curry Chicken Salad Fit for a Queen

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp curry powder
2 tsp lemon juice
2 tsp soy sauce
-
2 cup cooked cubed chicken breast
1 (8 oz) can sliced water chestnuts, drained
1/2 lb seedless green grapes, halved
1 (8 oz) can pineapple tidbits, drained
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted

Combine first 4 ingredients in a small bowl.  Combine remaining ingredients in a separate bowl.  Pour dressing over mixture, tossing to coat.  Cover and chill overnight.
