My mother passed this recipe on to me. It's a cold salad that's perfect for summer gatherings. It's also an excellent use of leftover chicken and turkey.

Ingredients

• 2 cups macaroni, or other pasta, cooked
• 1-2 cups chicken or turkey, cooked and cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 cup grapes, washed and cut in half
• 1/3 cup slivered almonds, or nuts of your choice
• 3/4 cup Miracle Whip salad dressing
• 3/4 cup Cool Whip
• 3/4 cup celery, diced
• 1/4 cup onion, diced
• 1 teaspoon paprika, for garnish

Serves / Yields

4-6 servings

Preparation Instructions

Cook pasta, and chicken (or turkey). Cool and chill. Mix salad dressing and Cool Whip. Toss the pasta, chicken, grapes, nuts, celery and onion together in a large bowl. Add the salad dressing and Cool Whip mixture. Toss to coat the salad evenly. Sprinkle the top with paprika. Refrigerate until serving time.

Helpful Hints
