Curried Chicken Salad

Submitted by BeachGirl

"No matter how much I make, we devour all of this chicken salad. The secret: pecans and lots of curry (and I don't usually like curry). I prefer adding raisins, but omit them when DD is indulging with us. Serve it as sandwiches, on lettuce as a salad, or with crackers for an appetizer spread. DS even eats this for breakfast."

I jost love all the different flavors! Your DD doesn`t know what she`s missing, Love the raisins. Next time I make this I`ll add toasted pine nuts and a granny smith apple. Good Stuff!

Loved this. Even my none curry loving children loved it. Definitely a keeper.

Th only reason I rated this four stars instead of five is that my family wasn't wild about it. But I loved it! My husband isn't a big curry fan, my son didn't like the raisins and nuts, and my daughter didn't like the nuts. However, all of them said if I made it again, they'd eat it. I will definitely make it again. I made it exactly per the recipe and served it over a bed of torn lettuce.

A new favorite FOR SURE! I used dried cranberries and chopped, toasted, Smokehouse Almonds... as i didn't have raisins or pecans... and it was A-MAZ-ING! Omitted the sugar. Probably won't even try it with the raisins and pecans because the cranberries and almonds were so tasty! Thanks for posting!
