Instructions

In a large bowl, add mayonnaise, lemon juice, curry powder, celery seed, and salt and pepper to taste (I like 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper). Whisk to combine.
Add chicken, celery, grapes, scallions, almonds, and parsley. Toss to coat. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Serve on bread or in lettuce cups.

Notes

Celery seed: I really like celery seed in chicken salad. But, if you don't have it and you don't want to buy it, it's okay to leave it out.
Chicken: Leftover rotisserie chicken or even something like Cajun Chicken works great in this recipe.
Grapes: I prefer to quarter my grapes for chicken salad so they are roughly the same as everything else. But, it's okay if you just cut them in half.
Slivered almonds: To toast your almonds, cook them in medium skillet over medium heat until browned and fragrant, stirring occasionally, about 3 to 5 minutes.
Yield: This recipe makes about 6 cups of Curried Chicken Salad, enough for 8 sandwiches, 3/4 cup salad per sandwich.
Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
