I was meaning a full-sized van. The Lumina was more a "soccer mom" sized
item like the Plymout Voyager or the Ford Aerostar.

I might add some coarde chopped pecans for extra crunch - ala ARBY'S.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

     Title: Arby's Grilled Chicken & Pecan Salad
Categories: Poultry, Fruits, Nuts, Citrus
     Yield: 4 Servings

     1 c  Diced red apple *
     1 tb Lemon juice
 2 1/2 c  Grilled chicken breast;
          - diced 1/4"
     1 c  Halved grapes
   1/2 c  Chopped celery
     1 c  Chopped pecans
   1/2 c  (to 3/4 c) mayonnaise
          Salt & pepper
          Lettuce leaves; opt
          Thick-sliced wheat bread;
          - opt

 * I used a "Cosmic Crisp" apple which worked nicely.
 I have also used shredded rotissiere chicken. -- UDD

 Place the diced apples in a medium-sized bowl. Add one
 tablespoon of lemon juice and stir to coat the apples to
 prevent them from turning brown.

 Add the chicken, grapes, celery, and pecans to the bowl
 and mix well.

 Add 1/2 cup mayonnaise and stir to combine. If the
 mixture is too dry you can add another 1/4 cup of
 mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

 Allow the flavors to marry in a covered bowl in the
 refrigerator for about 1 hour before serving.

 If you would like to serve the chicken salad as a
 sandwich, place about 1 cup of chicken salad and a few
 lettuce leaves between two thick slices of wheat bread.

 NOTES: While Arby's does not toast their pecans, you
 could easily bring this salad to the next level by
 toasting the pecans in a skillet on medium-high heat
 until fragrant. Allow the pecans to cool completely
 before adding them to the salad.
