Wild Rice Chicken Salad

Ingredients

 * 1) 1  	 cup uncooked   wild rice
 * 2) 2 	cups diced cooked chicken (or 1 large can of chicken, drained)
 * 3) 1 	cup red grapes, halved
 * 4) 1 	cup sliced water chestnuts
 * 5) 1/2 	cup mayonnaise
 * 6) 1/4 	cup chopped red onions
 * 7) 1/2 	teaspoon lemon juice
 * 8) 1 	cup cashews or almonds
 * 9) 1/2 	cup craisins (optional)
 * 10) salt and pepper, to taste

Directions
1. Cook rice according to package directions. Drain and cool to room temperature. Add rest of ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Cover and chill a couple hours before serving (overnight is fine).

2. Tips: I have been using the Uncle Ben's 90 second microwave pouch for the rice part. I use the long grain and wild rice mix.

3. I also think it tastes better with canned chicken.
