My husband and I fell hard for the curried chicken salad from our grocery store deli, and I knew I could find a way to make something similar. This greek yogurt chicken salad has become one of our favorites to take on trips to the beach. -Janine Cooper-Moren, Portland, Oregon

CASHEW CHERRY CURRY CHICKEN SALAD

Cashew Cherry Curry Chicken Salad image

I'm a southern cook so I season to taste. When I don't have an exact measurement, don't worry, just add spices a little at a time so your palate will tell you what tastes yummy! You can make a sandwich or put it over a bed of lettuce. My favorite is on a croissant. Just try it...you'll love it!

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

3 large chicken breasts (with ribs)
1/3 c red onion, diced
1 stalk celery, chopped
1/2-3/4 c dried cherries, chopped
1/2-3/4 c unsalted cashew pieces
enough mayonnaise to bind chicken
2-3 pinch sri lankan curry
salt and white pepper to taste

Steps:

1. Boil 3 large chicken breasts for 35-45 minutes. Cool and remove skin. Pull chicken off of bone and tear into bite-size pieces.
2. In a large bowl add the chicken pieces, diced red onion, chopped celery, dried cherries and cashew pieces.
3. Add enough mayonnaise to bind the ingredients together without making it goopy. I start with 1/2 cup and then add a little more at a time so I don't overdo it.
4. Add the curry. You may want to add it in slowly so you can taste test the strength of the curry. I add 2-3 pinches, mix, then more if I want it stronger. (I use the Sri Lankan curry blend which contains coriander, cumin, fennel, fenugreek, cloves and other spices. You can get it at www.spice-appeal.com if you're interested or use your own type of curry.)
5. Add salt and white pepper to taste. I use white pepper because I love it but you can use black if you prefer.

Make sure the curry dressing is well-balanced. It should be flavorful but not too spicy. You can adjust the amount of curry powder and cayenne pepper to taste.
Serve the salad immediately after making it, or store it in the refrigerator for later. It will keep for up to 3 days.
