Chicken Salad

Everything needs to be cold before mixing.

1 (12 oz.) bag of shell-roni, cooked and chilled
2 lbs. chicken tenders or chicken breasts, broiled, cooled, and cut into bite-size pieces.
2 bunches of green onions, sliced- use a lot of the green.
2 (20 oz.) cans pineapple tidbits, drained and chilled
4 cups of chopped celery, chilled
2 lbs. red grapes, chilled
2 handfuls sliced almonds

Mix all ingredients together. Add dressing and mix just until covered. You may not need all the dressing.

Dressing:
Mix 1 cup milk with 1 Tbsp cider vinegar and set aside for 5 minutes.

1 1/2 cup sugar
3/4 cup buttermilk (the recipe above)
2 1/4 cups mayonnaise (not miracle whip)
6 Tbsp. cider vinegar

This recipe is great for bridal or baby showers, as well. A good "presentation" is to serve on a red-leaf lettuce leaf and serve with a roll. (Orange rolls are great with this salad).
