Chicken and almonds are another match made in Heaven-(St. Francis may disagree....) From our local newspaper, source unknown unfortunately. Use fresh ingredients. Good use of leftover chicken.

What a good dressing. Really good salad that I'd make again. Well, let me be honest, I made two changes, subbing cooked ham for chicken, and omitting the red cabbage. But the basis of the salad is a sure winner, and I'm going to make it with chicken and cabbage I promise. Also, I poured the dressing on the salad entirely. Thanks for posting, Cookgirl!Reply
