Fruited Chicken Salad

5 cups chopped cooked chicken
2 Tbsp. vegetable or corn oil
2 Tbsp. orange juice
2 Tbsp. vinegar
1 tsp. salt
11 oz. can of mandarin oranges, drained
1 - 1 1/2 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup seedless grapes, halved
13 oz. pineapple chunks (tidbits)

Marinate chicken in oil, orange juice, vinegar and salt for a couple of hours.
Combine remaining ingredients. Add the chicken mixture. Chill.
Garnish with toasted almonds or cashews (optional).

I like to serve the chicken on a small croissant, but it is equally good with some crackers!
