Mom's Chicken Pasta Salad

Mom's Chicken Salad posted by request.   It may sound gross at first to some people (my Mom's Boss :P) but it has always been one of my favorites.

Ingredients

  • 5 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 large apples - peeled, cored and chopped
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • 1 (20 ounce) can pineapple tidbits, drained
  • 1 (11 ounce) can mandarin oranges, drained
  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Chill pasta and chicken thoroughly.
  2. Mix chicken, celery, apples, grapes, pineapple, mandarin oranges and pasta in large bowl.
  3. Mix the mayonnaise, milk, sugar, salt, dash of pepper and a dash of nutmeg.
  4. Combine mayonnaise and chicken mixtures and toss. Store in the refrigerator.

If you use Granny smith apples it is good also. And it gives it more of a colorful look!
