Expert Tips

To toast almonds, sprinkle in ungreased heavy skillet. Cook over medium heat 5 to 7 minutes, stirring frequently until almonds begin to brown, then stirring constantly until they are light brown.

Dried cherries can be used instead of the red grapes.

You can use frozen diced cooked chicken, thawed, or cut-up deli rotisserie chicken.

This recipe is really quick and easy and I have served it twice at dinner parties were it was warmly received. I used Kraft Poppyseed Dressing and omitted the chicken. The celery gives a good crunch and grapes add a nice sweetness. I only wish it were lower in calories.

I made this for a small get together - it was very easy to make and tasted great! I hadn't tried poppy seed dressing before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but it tasted great. I bought Kraft's Creamy Poppy Seed dressing, and it has a sweet flavor, and went very well with the pasta. I used cut up deli grilled chicken strips, skipped the celery and almonds, and added cubed mozzarella cheese. This is a great recipe for a summer party!

I've been making this receipe for about 5 years now. It never ceases to impress at potlucks or right at home with my kids. We fight over whole gets the last of it- usually my husband for his lunch. I try to cut the chicken into the same size as the noodles and the grapes (green or purple) are fine halved. The almonds taste better toasted but no complaints if they're not. Tonight I made this but only had the Suddenly Salad 'Cesear' mix, and it tasted fine. However, I still prefer the 'Classic' seasoning. Seems to have more tang and complements the poppy seed dressing better.
