Curried Chicken Salad with Grapes 

In my opinion the Silver Palate cookbook was the best cookbook 
published in the 1980's. It was written by Julee Rosso and Sheila 
Lukins. If I could choose only 10 cookbooks to keep out of my 
collection of thousands, the three cookbooks written by these two 
would be on the list. 

I think my Silver Palate is on loan to my sister, but I usually 
make this recipe from memory. As a result, it may differ from 
what's written there. I ask the Duckess, who is a vegetarian, to 
cover her eyes just now... 

3-4 chicken breasts, halved and boned 
2-6 cups red seedless grapes, to taste 
1 1/2 cups mayonnaise 
2-3 Tbsp curry powder (pick your favorite kind) 
1 Tbsp olive oil 
1 tsp cayenne pepper 
1 tsp ground black pepper 
1 tsp fruit vinegar 
1 cup chopped walnuts 

Cook chicken breasts under a hot broiler. Dice. Mix all sauce 
ingredients and taste it until you like it. Mix sauce, chicken, 
grapes, and walnuts. Cover and let sit, refrigerated, for at least 
an hour.
