CURRY CHICKEN SALAD WITH GRAPES
After the news that a local cafe was closing, I begged the owner for this recipe. The sweetness of the red grapes compliments the curry perfectly and the almonds provide a nice crunch. It's always a hit and I'm always asked for the recipe. It's nice served over a large leaf of romaine, on a croissant, or just out of the bowl with a fork!

RICE-A-RONI CHICKEN CURRY SALAD
This is a recipe for a cold rice/chicken salad with a curry twist, using Rice-a-Roni. My sister-in-law makes this for potlucks, baby showers, family get-togethers. It is always a favorite dish. I have made it as well and love the curry taste in it....and I'm not a huge curry fan! This recipe will serve 6 if it's used as a main dish or 8 for side servings. If you make it for a crowd, just double the recipe.

CURRY CHICKEN SALAD BY PAULA DEEN
This is from Paula Deen's cooking show and I did not see it posted here so I hope it's not a repeat. She was not consistent in telling exactly how much of each ingredient, so some are an estimate, and I've guessed the number of servings. I made it tonight for lunch tomorrow and I really liked it, it has a very mild curry flavor. I subsituted 1/2 the mayonnaise with sour cream and dried cranberries for the grapes.

- Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients. Curry chicken salad is a versatile dish that can be customized to your liking. You can add different vegetables, fruits, nuts, and seeds to create a salad that is unique and delicious.
- Make sure the salad is well-chilled before serving. Curry chicken salad is best served cold, so be sure to chill it for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Conclusion:
Curry chicken salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and satisfying salad that the whole family will enjoy.
