Elaine's Chicken Salad

1 (12 oz.) can chicken
1 cup or more chopped celery
3 cups seedless grapes
1 (10 oz.) package frozen green peas
1/2 cup salted peanuts
1 cup Chinese noodles

Mix together all ingredients except noodles. Chill. The original recipe called for folding in the noodles before chilling, but I prefer to fold them in just before serving. 

For Dressing mix together

2 cups Miracle Whip
1 tsp. soy sauce
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. lemon juice.

This really good, and really easy, chicken salad was made for my cousin Deena Hames and me by Elaine Smith, who is our mothers' cousin. We were visiting her near Seattle in the summer of 2005.
