The Dish with Anita: Chicken salad with curry dressing

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8) - This is one of those recipes that can be made at a moment's notice with just a handful of ingredients.

I make this for both lunch and dinner served with a tall glass of iced tea. It's great as a last-minute dinner when you have no idea what to cook. Using a precooked roasted chicken from the deli section of your local market, you don't even have to use your oven. Enjoy!

Ingredients:

3 medium to large skinless roasted chicken breasts

3 scallions, thinly sliced

1/4 small red onion, diced

1/2 cup small red grapes, cut in half

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

1/4 cup golden raisins or dried cranberries

1 Fuji apple

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp sea salt

1 cup Miracle Whip Light or plain Greek-style yogurt

1 tbsp each - white vinegar, fresh lemon juice

1/2 to 1 tsp curry powder
