Notes
- Serving suggestions: Curry chicken salad can be served as is, or on lettuce, bread, croissants, in a wrap, or with crackers.
- Dressing: If you prefer, you can replace the Greek yogurt with mayonnaise (¾ cup total). If you shred the chicken rather than dice it, you may need to make extra dressing since the chicken will absorb more of the dressing.
- Spice level: We use McCormick curry powder which is mild. Some curry powders can be quite spicy but will be labeled as “Hot Curry Powder” or “Madras Curry Powder.”
- Add nuts: If desired, add ½ cup sliced or slivered almonds, toasted. If you’re including the almonds, stir them in immediately prior to serving, or sprinkle on top of each serving as a garnish.
- Storage: Store leftovers in a covered container for 2 to 3 days. Stir well before serving.
