Fruited Chicken Salad

• 4 cups chunked cooked chicken
• 1 large can mandarin oranges, drained
• 1 large can pineapple tidbits or chunks, drained
• 1 cup finely chopped celery
• 2 T. finely minced onion
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper (optional)
• sliced almonds or cashew chunks (amount as desired)

Mix all together and add 1 cup mayonnaise and 1 T. mustard

Mix chow mien noodles into salad right before serving. Use as many as desired. Sometimes I serve the chow mien noodles separately so each person can put as many in their salad as they like. They get soggy so you don’t want to have them mixed into more salad than you will use at the meal. I really like serving this with banana bread or muffins. I have even mixed white rice into this salad for a little extra fill, and it was great that way too.
