Pumpkin Waldorf Chicken Salad

I do not really need to explain to you all how delicious a waldorf chicken salad is, we know it, we love it.

I do however need to introduce you and your chicken salad to pumpkin, because tis the season after all! I figured that the warm spicy flavors of curry taste phenomenal in chicken salad, so why not the warm spiciness of nutmeg as well as nutmegs favorite companion, pumpkin? Stir in other seasonal flavors like pecans, apples and grapes and you have yourself a salad worthy of any fall picnic basket!

This salad can be made on the fly and is a fun and easy way to infuse fall flavors into your lunch or dinner!
