Copycat Trader Joe’s Curried Chicken Salad
Description
The Copycat Trader Joe’s Curried Chicken Salad is prepared by gently poaching boneless skinless chicken breasts until cooked through and chopped into cubes. The dressing blends creamy Greek yogurt and mayonnaise with lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup, and curry powder to create a mildly tangy and spiced coating. The salad ingredients — green onions, raw cashew nuts, raisins, and grated carrot — bring crunch, sweetness, and freshness.
Mixing the cooled chicken with the dressing and vegetables results in a chicken salad that balances savory, sweet, and tangy elements with a slight curry warmth. This salad can be enjoyed on its own or as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast poached for 3 to 8 minutes, boneless skinless
- ¼ cup Greek yogurt whole milk
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon yellow curry powder
- 3 green onions sliced
- ½ cup cashew nuts raw
- ½ cup raisins
- 1 cup carrot grated
Instructions
- Heat a large pot of water and bring it to a full boil. Add the raw chicken breasts and reduce heat slightly. Cook for 5 to 8 minutes (depending on thickness of chicken), or until chicken is cooked through. Place chicken on a cutting board, chop into cubes, and allow it to cool.
- Whisk together the yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, mustard, maple syrup, and curry powder until well-combined.
- Add the green onion, cashews, raisins, and grated carrot to a large mixing bowl, along with the cooled chopped chicken. Pour the curry dressing over everything and mix well until everything is coated.
- Eat in abundance!
