Ricki's Ravioli Chicken Salad

This is another great recipe that I got from Ricki. It is a hearty salad that can easily be served as the main course! The recipe originally was double this in quantity, but I have divided it in half below. Doubled, it fed probably 15-20 people!

1 rotisserie chicken (or 3 whole breasts cooked) cut up in bite size pieces
12 oz bag of fresh ravioli or tortellini
1 C red grapes
1/2 C fresh snow peas, uncooked
2-2 1/2 stalks celery (cut up fairly small)
1/2 cucumber peeled, seeded and sliced or cut up in bite size pieces
1/2 bunch green onion cut up
1/2 C Craisins
6 oz. marinated artichoke hearts (optional) (Ricki did add this)
1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
1/2 can mandarin oranges
1/2 bag of spinach
toasted pecans

Dressing:
1/2-3/4 C mayonnaise
1/3 C lemon juice
salt and pepper to taste

Combine all ingredients except kiwi, orange, spinach and pecans. Mix dressing well and add to salad. Just before serving, stir in spinach and garnish with kiwi, oranges and pecans.
