This is a great alternative to lunch meat for sandwiches. We love it at our house and it can be adjusted for your family's likes and dislikes. I love to make a fairly big batch so I can use it for my lunches during the week. This tastes great in pita bread, any type of roll, multi-grain wraps or on bread. Its amazing on croissants but they are sooooo not on my diet! You could also eat it on a big bed of lettuce.
3 chicken breasts, cooked and diced
1 can mandarin oranges, drained
4 ribs of celery
1 c c'raisins OR grapes (halved)
1/2 c sunflower seeds
1/2 c slivered almonds (if desired)
1/2 c sweetened flaked coconut
1 t curry powder (if desired)
Mix together with 1 - 2 cups of Kraft mayo (I only use the one made with olive oil - half the fat but the same taste as regular).
Servings depends on the amount used!
If you use this to make 10 servings, which are pretty large... (I calculated 1.5 cups of the mayo w/olive oil.)

As an alternative, I've been making my chicken salad with curry powder and greek yogurt in place of the mayo. Here is the nutrition info with that one substitution:
