Curry Chicken Salad.

I learned this one from a dear friend here in Fairhope. It is phenomenal!

Curried Chicken Salad

*Note: DOUBLE or triple this recipe!*

1 1/2 cups cubed cooked chicken breast
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 scraped and shredded carrot
1/8 teaspoon celery seed
1/2 cup Golden Raisins
1/2 chopped apple (green or red)
1/4 cup scraped & chopped celery

For the dressing:

1 cup plain, vanilla, or lemon nonfat (or lowfat) yogurt
2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
3 teaspoons curry powder (or more)
3 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 Tablespoon Dijon-style mustard


Combine the chicken, peas, carrot, celery seed, raisins, apple, and celery in a salad bowl.
Put all the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to blend.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well.
Cover & refrigerate for one hour.
