What Makes This Recipe So Good

  • It’s the perfect addition to weekly meal prep! This curry chicken salad gets better with time and will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 4 days. It’s a great quick and easy grab-and-go lunch or snack.
  • It’s loaded with fresh ingredients and tons of flavor! Green apple, celery, scallions, and raisins taste incredibly fresh in this mayo-based salad. An entire tablespoon of curry powder is mixed in for loads of spice and flavor.

Chef’s Tips

  • This curry chicken salad gets better with time! I recommend leaving it covered in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. This’ll give it enough time for the flavors to develop.
  • Serve this easy lunch recipe however you’d like! Between two slices of bread makes for a delicious chicken salad sandwich. I also love filling lettuce wraps with this salad for a super healthy and low-carb meal.
  • Once done, give this curry chicken salad a taste and adjust any seasonings you’d like. I always add a little bit more lime juice to mine for extra tanginess. Also, you may prefer just a touch more salt, as well as some black pepper.
