Curry Chicken Salad

When I started this blog, I promised myself that I’d make posts on a regular basis but the past few weeks have been a little insane to say the least, hence nothing new until now.  Busy life = easy recipe. 

This curry chicken salad is a great August meal.  It’s easy to pull together and has a lot of different textures which when mixed with curry gives a new twist on the same old chicken salad recipe we always rely on.  

1 rotisserie chicken, skin and meat removed from bones and chopped
3 stalks celery, chopped
3 scallions, chopped
¾ cup Cranraisins
½ cup light mayonnaise
1 ½ tsp curry powder
½ cup slivered almonds, toasted

Combine the mayonnaise and curry powder in a bowl and let it rest in the refrigerator.  Prepare the chicken, celery, scallions and Cranraisins and mix them in a bowl.  Add the mayonnaise mixture a little at a time until you have the desired texture you want.  Mix in the almonds, then refrigerate.
