If you like chicken salad, you'll love this one! It is good plain with crackers or served in a pita or a croissant. It is wonderful for women's luncheons. Everyone loves it.

Time 2h15m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 cup uncooked wild rice
2 cups diced cooked chicken (or 1 large can of chicken, drained)
1 cup red grapes, halved
1 cup sliced water chestnuts
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 cup cashews or 1 cup almonds
1/2 cup craisins (optional)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Cook rice according to package directions. Drain and cool to room temperature. Add rest of ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and chill a couple hours before serving (overnight is fine).
Tips: I have been using the Uncle Ben's 90 second microwave pouch for the rice part. I use the long grain and wild rice mix.
I also think it tastes better with canned chicken.
