I created this salad for a party last year. It tastes wonderful, and everyone asks for the recipe. Serve on croissants or lettuce leaves. For a fancy presentation, line a platter with red leaf lettuce, and top with cream puff shells that have been stuffed with salad (small shells for appetizers or large shell for main dish).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are the best choice for this salad. They're lean and cook quickly.
  • Cook the chicken properly. Overcooked chicken is dry and tough, so be careful not to overcook it. The chicken should be cooked through but still moist.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. This salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. Some good choices include celery, carrots, onion, and bell pepper.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Curry powder is the traditional spice for chicken curry salad, but you can also use other spices like cumin, turmeric, or garam masala.
  • Make the salad ahead of time. This salad is even better if it's made ahead of time and allowed to chill in the refrigerator for a few hours. This allows the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Chicken curry 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 taste preferences. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give chicken curry salad a try.
