Curried Chicken Salad

Using the flavor of curry in a salad provides a nice flavor twist and a welcome change to a standard version of classic Southern chicken salad.  We love Indian inspired dishes, and curried chicken salad has been a family favorite for a long time.  It has a sweet and spicy flavor combination that’s really appealing.

How to Serve Curried Chicken Salad

  • It’s a wonderful appetizer, when served on mini croissants or in mini phyllo cups for a bite size treat.
  • You can also enjoy it on a bed of bibb lettuce for a main course meal, if you like.
  • We adore the flavor of cilantro, so, it definitely makes an appearance in my curried chicken salad.  If you’re not sure about adding cilantro to yours, you can omit.
  • This salad will keep for 3 days in the refrigerator when stored in a tightly sealed container.
  • Use  quality brand of chutney. It adds to the flavor plus it adds just a touch of sweetness to balance the spice.
  • Other chicken salad recipes you may enjoy is my Waldorf chicken salad, hot chicken salad or cranberry almond chicken salad filled with chewy cranberries.
