Curried Chicken Salad

This one’s a simple recipe, that comes together quickly. I’ve never had a curried chicken salad that I actually liked…it was either too much curry, not enough curry…too bland…whatever have you. So I came up with this recipe to make it taste how *I* like it. My family thought it was really good, and I hope yours does too!

We have really been on a Duke’s mayo kick lately, it’s so good. Hellman’s is good, Dukes is better, and Kewpie is the best (but very expensive! but delicious).

Ingredients

• Mayonnaise (try Duke’s if you haven’t!)
• Chicken, of course. I used a full chopped up rotisserie chicken. Save the bones to make chicken bone broth!
• Curry. For this and other non-authentic dishes, I just use McCormick, the flavor is relatively universal.
• Finely diced Bermuda onions (you could use white or yellow, I like the flavor of Bermuda) and celery
• Cayenne pepper (just a dash to add a kick) and onion powder to increase the umami.
• Cranberry Jalapeno Chutney. I loved the flavor this added but you could use any chutney, homemade or even Major Grey’s. This adds a nice bit of sweet and sour and really balances nicely with the curry powder.

Instructions

This is the pretty easy part lol

Throw everything in a bowl and mix it up good!!

And make yourself a sandwich! We used nice, soft rolls and they turned out amazing. The perfect, refreshing and light dinner for a 90 degree summer day!
