Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups cooked chicken breast meat chopped or shredded
  • 2 cups small pasta such as seashells or bowties
  • 1 cup fresh seedless green grapes halved
  • 1/2 cup celery diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise regular or light
  • 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper

Instructions

  1. This recipe needs to be refrigerated for at least 4 hours, so be sure to plan ahead.
  2. Cook the pasta shells until they are still slightly firm, or al dente. Drain the pasta well and set it aside.
  3. Whisk together the mayonnaise with the curry powder, ground cumin and sugar. Add the white wine vinegar, and then season with the salt and white pepper.
  4. Combine the cooked pasta shells with the mayonnaise mixture, and then add the diced celery and the cooked chicken breast. Cover with plastic or store in a covered container and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  5. This part of the salad can be refrigerated overnight to really let the flavors blend.
  6. Add the grape halves just before serving and mix well, or sprinkle over the top and sides of a mound of the salad if served on lettuce leaves. A great chicken and grape salad!
