Curry Chicken Salad

Curry Chicken Salad

Just writing about this Curry Chicken Salad makes my mouth water y’all! I know at least half of you reading this are thinking really, why curry?? The other half are probably thinking oh my goodness, YES, sign me up for anything curry! Trust me when I say, if you haven’t ventured out to use it in a recipe then you’re truly missing out! To be completely honest, I wasn’t sold on curry until my early twenties. I then ventured to try red curry with shrimp at a Thai food restaurant. It was life-changing y’all. Once you are brave enough to try it once, you will NEVER go back! I cannot even begin to describe how good the flavor is, you’ll just have to trust me! ๐Ÿ˜‰

Curry Chicken Salad

It’s safe to say, this is a classic chicken salad with a twist! That’s seriously one of the things I love most about southern food. You can ALWAYS put a fresh new twist on old classic recipes! This recipe comes alive with the curry, ranch dressing mix, green onions, raisins, bell pepper, toasted coconut, and last but certainly not least, the salty cashews. The sweetness from the raisins and toasted coconut equals the PERFECT balance of savory and sweet. In my opinion, that’s was makes an iconic chicken salad… savory but sweet!

Curry Chicken Salad

I feel like this recipe would be perfect for Mother’s Day lunch alongside the grape salad I posted last week! Croissants and crackers would be great with the salad as well! Side note — my husband commented the sweet tea in the photos above looks like a whiskey drink (insert laughing emoji here). While he’s got a point, it’s definitely tea but to each their own! Enjoy y’all!
