Creamy chicken salad

Creamy Chicken Salad

2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1 cup cooked small ring pasta
1 cup halved seedless red grapes
1 can (11 oz) mandarin oranges, drained
3 celery ribs, chopped
½ cup sliced almonds
1 Tbsp grated onion
1 cup reduced fat mayonnaise (I use regular mayo)
1 cup whipped topping (I used cool whip)
¼ tsp salt

In a bowl, combine the chicken, pasta, grapes, oranges, celery, almonds, and onion. In another bowl, combine the mayonnaise, whipped topping and salt. Add to the chicken mixture. Stir to coat. May be served on a bed of lettuce. Yield 6 servings. I always double this one when I make it in hopes of having a bit to take to work with me the next day. Enjoy!

I love to take this to potlucks and parties. People always ask for the recipe.....it IS that good!!
