This Curry Chicken Salad is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that combines tender chicken with crunchy vegetables, sweet apples, golden raisins, and a creamy curried mayonnaise dressing.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and cubed or shredded

Vegetables and Fruits

  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 3 green onions, chopped
  • 1 golden delicious apple, diced

Add-ins

  • 1/3 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup almond slivers

Dressing

  • 3/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp curry powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise with curry powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
  2. Mix the salad ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked and cubed or shredded chicken, chopped celery, green onions, diced apple, golden raisins, and almond slivers. Toss gently to combine all ingredients uniformly.
  3. Combine salad with dressing: Pour the prepared curried mayonnaise dressing over the chicken mixture. Stir carefully to ensure every piece is evenly coated with the dressing.
  4. Chill and serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled alongside crackers, over fresh greens, or use as a filling for sandwiches. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For best flavor, use freshly cooked chicken cooled to room temperature or cold.
  • You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a lighter dressing.
  • Adjust the curry powder amount to taste for milder or spicier salad.
  • Almond slivers add a nice crunch but can be replaced with chopped walnuts or pecans.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
