curry chicken salad

Curry makes the world better and it is proved in this curry chicken salad. I use plain Greek yogurt which, I feel, compliments the warm curry spices. Dried apricots add a sweetness that is really nice but you can use raisins as well.

making the curry chicken salad

Start with mixing the chicken, yogurt, curry powder, cilantro and salt together until combined. Taste and add more salt or curry powder if needed, I like a little more curry. Now add the apricots, cashews and green onions and give a stir to distribute. Finish with a squeeze of lime. This salad is great on its own, on top of some salad greens or as a wrap. If the salad dries up after sitting in the refrigerator you can add a little more yogurt and lime juice to liven it up.
