Report
This healthy Curried Chicken Salad is an easy packed lunch, made with avocado, curry powder, and fresh veggies. I love how flavorful it is!

Ingredients
- 1 pound shredded chicken (about 2-3 cups of pre-cooked chicken)
- 2 celery stalks , diced
- 3 green onions , chopped
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro , chopped
- 1 ripe avocado (about 7-8 ounces in weight)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 to 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (to taste)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Instructions
- In a large glass bowl, combine the shredded chicken, celery, green onions, and cilantro.
- To make the dressing, combine the avocado, lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, salt, curry powder, and water. Blend until smooth, adding 1 to 2 tablespoons of water, if needed to thin out the sauce. Taste and add one more tablespoon of maple syrup if you want it a little sweeter.
- Pour the dressing over the chicken salad ingredients, and stir well to coat everything evenly.
- Add in raisins if desired, then transfer the salad to the fridge to chill for 2 hours and let the flavors meld and the raisins will plump. Serve chilled.
- Leftover cooked chicken can be stored in the fridge in an airtight containerfor 3 to 4 days. (The avocado doesn't brown in that time, FYI!)
