Sarah and Amber hosted a baby shower for Melanie this past weekend and asked Dorthy, Mom and I to help out with food. I made a curried chicken salad that I found in A Decade of Cooking: The COSTCO Way and thought I'd share the recipe with anyone who might be interested. Here it is.
Approx 2 lbs cooked chicken breast (about 4)*
1 cup red or green seedless grapes, halved
1/2 cup diced dried apricots
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup diced celery
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
Lettuce for serving**
Dressing
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons lime juice
-Cube chicken meat.
-Place the chicken in a large bowl and add grapes, apricots, red onion, raisins, pine nuts, celery and green onions. Toss gently.
-To prepare dressing, combine all ingredients and mix well.
-Pour dressing over the chicken salad and toss until the mixture is coated
-Serve on lettuce
*Recipe calls for one whole roasted chicken, but I only had breast meat
**Recipe suggests butter lettuce, but I served it on pieces of romaine. It's also good on top of a bed of greens.
