Lite Cashew Chicken Salad

1Steve's Note:

Very tasty made with light mayonnaise and less of it than most recipes to reduce fat and calories. Seedless grapes grapes add a nice crunch and sweetness too. Can be used as a salad on lettuce or a sandwich spread. Use turkey instead of chicken after Thanksgiving to use holiday leftovers

LOVE this salad. It was one of my favorite to buy from a local deli, so I was happy to find this recipe for it. I get asked for the recipe everytime I make it. Thanks!
