I can’t stop with this Curry Chicken Salad. CAN’T STOP! I have basically lived on this stuff for the past two weeks.
I love making a big batch of this salad and eating on it for several days. We love to eat this salad on a bed of lettuce, siete tortillas or some homemade toasted GF sourdough bread.
If you have followed me for a while you know that I have a serious obsession with Primal Palate Organic Spices. They recently released some new “Taste of Asia” pack and one blend being an insanely delicious curry powder. I really love a classic chicken salad but the curry really makes this salad incredibly flavorful and fun.
We like to use a good quality mayonnaise like Sr. Kensington or Primal Kitchen. Not only do they taste amazing but also a nutrient dense option. You can easily double or triple this batch recipe for several meals!
Enjoy!
