Layered Chicken Salad

Prepare this one the night before so the flavours can mix.

4 to 5 cups shredded iceberg lettuce
1/4 lb bean sprouts
8 oz can water chestnuts, sliced
1 medium sized cucumber, thinly sliced
1/2 cup green onions, thinly sliced
2 - 8oz pkg pea pods
4 cups cooked chicken, cut into strips
2 cups mayonnaise
2 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tbsp sugar
10 to 12 cherry tomatoes, halved

Spread lettuce as evenly as possible in a 4 quart glass bowl.  Top with 1 layer each of sprouts, water chestnuts, cucumber, onions, pea pods and chicken (make sure pea pods are dry).  Stir together, in a bowl, the mayonnaise, curry, ginger and sugar.  Spread evenly over salad.  Decorate with halved cherry tomatoes.  Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.  You may want extra mayonnaise mixture to serve on the side.
