Yummy! I made this for a neighbor get-together and only got one bite!
Serving Suggestions:
Ingredients:
1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tsp. curry powder
1 tsp. salt
6 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 (8 oz) can crushed pineapple
2/3 cup orange-flavored sweetened, dried cranberries
1 cup chopped, roasted & salted almonds

Instructions:
1. Whisk together cream cheese and next 3 ingredients in a large bowl; stir in chicken, pineapple, and cranberries just until blended.

2. If desired, spoon mixture into a plastic wrap-lined 8 inch round cake pan; cover and chill at least 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Invert chicken salad onto a cake stand or pretty plate and remove plastic wrap. Gently press almonds onto side of chicken salad. Garnish if desired with fresh fruit.

NOTE: I could not find orange-flavored dried cranberries so I soaked my cranberries in a smidge of orange juice. It worked!
