3 oz. (1 c.) uncooked shell macaroni
1 1/2 c. cubed, cooked chicken
1 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 c. sliced celery
3/4 c. seedless green grapes
1/2 c. mandarin orange segments, drained
1/4 c. slivered almonds
1/2 c. mayonnaise
1/2 c. whipping cream

To toast almonds, spread almonds evenly on cookie sheet; bake at 375 degrees for 5 to 10 minutes until light golden brown. Or, spread in thin layers on microwave-safe pie pan. Microwave on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes or until golden brown, stirring after 1 minute.

Cook macaroni to desired doneness as directed on package. Drain, rinse with cold water. In large bowl, combine all ingredients except whipping cream. Cover; refrigerate 3 hours to blend flavors. Just before serving, fold in whipping cream. Yield: 6 servings.
