What’s in Curry Chicken Salad?
Well, aside from the curry and chicken there are so many delicious ingredients! And most of them you probably have in your kitchen already. Check out the recipe card at the bottom of the post for all of the exact measurements!
Curry Dressing
Mayonnaise: Mayonaise is the base of the salad that helps it all mix together. Yellow Curry Powder: This curry powder not only gives this salad that signature curry coloring but it is delicious and not too overpowering. Onion Powder: This adds an additional flavor to the curry powder and they complement each other well. Honey: This adds in a little sweet flavor to balance out the curry. Salt and Pepper: Add these in to your liking!
Chicken Salad
Chicken: Any kind of cooked and shredded chicken works! I like to use a store-bought rotisserie chicken to make this extra easy. Celery: Dice up the celery into small, bite-sized pieces. Pineapple: Dice this up to be about the size of pineapple tidbits. Optional: Cashew halves and green onions for garnish are optional but they add a great flavor and texture to the chicken salad.
How Do You Make Curry Chicken Salad?
This is the easy part! No cooking or baking or waiting for things to be done! You just combine everything together and voila! You have yourself a delicious meal!
Chicken: Use any type of chicken you have on hand. You can use rotisserie, roasted, or even broiled chicken. Whatever you use, chop it up or shred it so it is easy to spread, spoon, and eat. Nuts: Cashews are great in this recipe because they complement the curry so well. But, you can substitute them for walnuts, almonds, or pecans. Roast them for a bit of extra flavor. Mayonnaise: If you are not a fan of mayo, you can use sour cream or non-fat Greek yogurt instead.
