Grown-Up Southern Tea Room Chutney Chicken Salad for Two

Posted at http://mynew30.blogspot.com

1/2 of a stalk of celery, chopped
1 thick slice of red onion, chopped
1/2 of a small apple, peeled and chopped
2 tablespoons of chopped pecans
12 red seedless grapes, cut in half
2-3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
2 tablespoons of mango chutney (like Major Grey's)
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups of chopped cooked chicken
Four slices of fresh white or whole wheat bread, or two large croissants
Additional mayo for bread
Curly lettuce and tomato, optional

Combine first 8 list ingredients and mix well. Add the chicken and toss; taste and adjust seasonings. Apply a thin layer of mayonnaise on some nice soft, homemade white or wheat bread, or a fresh, split croissant; add a liberal amount of chicken salad, and dress with lettuce and juicy, sliced tomato, if desired. Can also be served over a bed of lettuce; sprinkle top with chopped tomato and a tiny sprinkle of additional chopped pecans.
