Curried Cranberry Chicken Salad

I've been on a Crasins kick and decided to obey the package's suggestion to find more recipes at oceanspray.com.  Here is the original link I found.  So easy and super yummy.  I had no lime juice or green onions, so I just left them out, but I added grapes and green pepper... cuz I had them.  I hope you try it!
