Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, and curry powder until everything is nice and smooth. In a bigger bowl, toss the apple pieces with the lemon juice to keep them from browning. Add in the chicken, celery, grapes, pecans, and pineapple, then pour the mayo mixture over the top. Gently stir everything together until it’s well coated. Cover the bowl and pop it in the fridge to chill for a bit before serving.
