Curried Chicken, Peach and Pecan Salad

The sweetness of Ontario peaches complements the spiciness of this curried chicken salad beautifully. Spoon this zesty salad on top of bread with leaf lettuce for an open-faced sandwich; if desired, thinly slice half of one of the peaches instead of chopping and arrange on top of sandwiches for garnish.
