This curry chicken salad is a special recipe from my mother's kitchen that has been a staple in our home for a long time. It is a wonderful mix of tender chicken, sweet golden raisins, fresh apples, and crisp celery that makes every bite interesting.

My best tip for this recipe is to use a rotisserie chicken if you are in a rush. It saves a lot of time and the meat is already perfectly cooked and tender.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked chicken, shredded or diced
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1 medium apple, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1/4 cup toasted sliced almonds
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, and honey until smooth.

  2. 2

    Add the shredded chicken, golden raisins, diced apple, and chopped celery to the bowl.

  3. 3

    Stir everything together until the chicken and fruit are well coated in the dressing.

  4. 4

    Season with salt and pepper to your liking.

  5. 5

    Fold in the toasted almonds just before serving to keep them nice and crunchy.

  6. 6

    Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes to let the flavors meld together.

💡 Tips

This salad tastes even better after resting in the fridge for an hour. Serve it inside a buttery croissant or scoop it over a bed of fresh greens. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
