Curried Chicken and Apple Sandwich

This has gotten rave reviews at family picnics in the past. It is a refreshing change from the standard meat-salads used for sandwiches and is relatively easy to make. Pita pockets are the recommended "serving implement" but serve it up however you wish.

I just love curried chicken salads, and this was a great variation. I used fat free yogurt, the chicken option, the red pepper option, and the cilantro. I omitted the salt (personal preference). Delicious! I served half in buns and half over spinach leaves and both methods were immensely enjoyed. Thanks for sharing! ZWT6Reply
