Trader Vic's Chicken Salad

A customer shared this recipe with me shortly after I opened The Invisible Chef and it quickly became a favorite.  I have not made it since I close the store, but plan to make it very soon. I believe Trader Vic's was a popular resturant in San Francisco. Not sure if it's still open and not sure this salad was ever made, but that is the story I was told when given the recipe.

Trader Vic's Chicken Salad



5 cups cooked diced chicken breast

1 can sliced water chestnuts

2 cups pineapple tidbits, drained

1 cup sliced celery

1/2 cup sliced green olives

Dressing:

1/2 (heaping) cup sour cream

1/2 (heaping) cup mayonnaise

1 T curry powder

4 T Major Grey Chutney

Garnish:

1/2 cup toasted almonds, sliced

Mix all ingredients; add dressing and chill.  Top with sliced almonds.  I ususally mixed my almonds in with the other ingredients.
