Curried Chicken Salad

Jambalaya, p. 38

SALAD

2 cups diced cooked chicken

¼ cup sliced water chestnuts

½ pound green grapes, halved

½ cup coarsely chopped celery

½ cup toasted slivered almonds

1 8-ounce can drained pineapple chunks

DRESSING

¾ cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon curry powder

2 teaspoons soy sauce

2 teaspoons lemon juice

Two chicken breasts got the job done for me.


In a bowl, mix chicken with water chestnuts, grapes, celery, almonds and pineapple chunks. 

Look at all that variety!


Combine dressing ingredients and add to chicken mixture. 

I apparently got so excited about eating the chicken salad that I forgot to take a photo of the final product. But here's the dressing ingredients!


Chill 3-4 hours. Serve on bib lettuce or in a scooped out fresh pineapple cut in half lengthwise.


My Rating: 4/5 "Pleasant, comforting, and delightfully mayo-y. I loved how much fruit was in this, and I enjoyed the variety of textures added by the almonds and the water chestnuts. The dressing flavor could have been a titch more complex, but that's a little quibble in the face of such a satisfying dish."
