Personal Notes:
If you don't have time to cook the chicken, buy one or two rotisserie chickens already cooked from the grocery store.

If you don't have grapes, you can use apples or mandarin oranges.

May substitute pecans for almonds. I usually toast the nuts before adding to the salad.

This recipe came from Sharon (Bell) Seal who was a camper when I was a counselor at Camp Arrowhead. Her daughters went to camp with my daughters.
