Curried Chicken Salad

This was a very popular chicken salad at Copperfield's Coffee Cafe. I admit it is not my favorite. I like the apple and walnut version, but then I like more sweet salads than savory. This chicken salad goes very well with the tomato soup recipe and makes a good sandwich all in all.

2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1/2 to 1 cup celery diced
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 to 1/2 cup green onions diced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sweet curry powder
1/2 to 3/4 cup good mayonnaise such as Hellman's.

Use a large wide bowl. Toss and blend well all the ingredients except the mayo. When the chicken mixture and all the seasonings are well combined, then add the mayo and fold it through the chicken until its all combined. Transfer to a container with a lid or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour or more to let the curry spice develop its flavor.
