CAMBODIAN LEMONGRASS CURRY CHICKEN, ARTICHOKE & WILD RICE SALAD

8 chicken breasts, baked, cooled and sliced
2 small boxes of long grain and wild rice mix; cook according to package directions
2 large jars marinated artichoke hearts, sliced - add marinade to salad
1 bunch (6 or 7) green onions, chopped
1 large red pepper, chopped
1/2 cup stuffed olives, chopped
2 tsp. (or more!) curry powder*
1/2 c. +/- mayonnaise

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Start with a small amount of mayonnaise; add more as desired, but be sure not to obscure the other ingredients and flavors with a thick coating if it.   

*Notes: Any curry powder you like will work, but I especially like the lighter flavor of Cambodian Lemongrass Curry, available from Savory Spice Shop online. Increase or decrease the amount used to suit your own taste.
