1 box Uncle Ben's long grain & wild rice, prepared as directed and cooled
3-4 chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
handful of black olives, sliced
1/2 red or green bell pepper, diced
1-2 green onions, sliced
handful of slivered almonds
1 small jar of marinated artichoke hearts, reserve liquid and chop artichokes
1-2 teaspoons curry powder, to taste
1/3 to 1/2 c. mayo or salad dressing
Combine artichoke liquid, mayo and curry. Set aside.
Combine rest of ingredients. Stir in mayo mixture. Mix well. Cover and refrigerate for several hours or overnight.
