Recipe

Simmer chicken in water with celery tops, onion, salt, and peppercorns. Remove and cool. Cut into bite-size pieces. Should have about 3 cups.

Combine chicken with first 4 ingredients.

Stir together dressing ingredients.

Toss mixtures together lightly. Chill.

Stir almonds in before serving.

Serve in a pretty bowl or in round slices of honeydew melon or in fresh pineapple boats.

NOTES : The recipe I based this on called for 1 cup mayo. and 1/2 cup sour cream. I thought this was too much dressing.
