FRUITY CHICKEN SALAD



Fruity Chicken Salad image

The amounts listed are only a guideline since I don't even bother measuring please feel free to adjust all ingredients to suit taste but please try not to omit anything all the ingredients blend together perfectly! You could use all mayonnaise but I prefer half mayonnaise and yogurt or sour cream for a lighter texture, if you are making this in advance then add in the diced apple just before serving. If you are a curry-lover then try adding in 1/2 to 1 teaspoon curry powder into the mayo mixture, I think you will be quite surprised at the taste! This is one of the best recipes for chicken salad!... For a luncheon, double or triple the complete recipe and serve this on a bed of lettuce with tomato wedges around the chicken salad then sprinkle more toasted almonds on and around the chicken salad... your guests will rave!

Curried Chicken Salad with Fruit and Pecans image

Elegant and rich with a creamy, buttery texture, this is the best chicken salad I've ever eaten! The original recipe was served at Yankee Peddler's Tea Room in Missouri and I've adjusted to taste. This is an excellent chicken salad for croissants, or serve on a bed of greens with melon and fruit on the side for a wonderful summer meal.

Categories     Curries

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 boneless chicken breasts, cooked & diced
1 stalk celery, diced
1 small tart apple, chopped
1/3 cup green seedless grape, halved
1/2 cup pecan halves
1 teaspoon curry powder
3/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup melted butter

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients and mix well.
  • Refrigerate for a minimum of one hour before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe fruit. If you can't find fresh fruit, you can use frozen or canned fruit, but the flavor will not be as good.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the fruit and vegetables by hand. Just be sure to chop them finely so that they blend well with the other ingredients.
  • If you want a spicier curry chicken salad, add more curry powder to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
  • If you want a sweeter curry chicken salad, add more honey or maple syrup to taste. You can also add a few dried cranberries or raisins for a natural sweetness.
  • Serve the curry chicken salad immediately, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Curry chicken salad is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for something new and exciting to eat, give curry chicken salad a try. You won't be disappointed!
