Curried Chicken Salad with Grapes
Description
The Curried Chicken Salad with Grapes features cooked chicken breast tossed in a dressing that blends Greek yogurt and mayonnaise for creaminess, infused with curry powder and mango chutney, which provide a subtle spice and fruitiness. Fresh lemon juice, salt, and pepper round out the flavor. Ingredients like red grapes and celery contribute mild sweetness and crunch, while toasted sliced almonds add nutty texture. Red scallions provide a gentle sharpness that complements the salad.
The salad is versatile in serving options: it can be spooned onto a bed of lettuce, made into sandwiches or wraps, or served as an appetizer on crackers, crostini, or sliced cucumber. The combination of flavors and textures lends a refreshing and balanced note to this dish, making it suitable for warmer weather or light meals.
A useful tip includes poaching your own chicken breast in lightly salted water or broth with a bay leaf and white wine, ensuring tender meat if rotisserie or leftovers are unavailable. The recipe yields about three cups of chicken salad, enough for several servings depending on use.
Ingredients
- ½ cup Greek yogurt plain, 2% fat
- 2 Tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 ½ tablespoons mango chutney
- 2 teaspoons lemon juice fresh
- kosher salt
- black pepper
- 3 cups chicken breast cooked; diced or shredded
- ¾ cup red grapes halved
- ⅓ cup scallions chopped
- ¼ cup almonds sliced, toasted
- ¼ cup celery chopped
Instructions
- Mix the yogurt, mayonnaise, curry powder, chutney, and lemon juice together in a large bowl. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
- Stir in the chicken, grapes, scallions, almonds and celery. Serve chicken salad on a bed of lettuce or use it to make sandwiches, wraps or lettuce wraps. You can also serve it on crackers, crostini, mini croissants or cucumber slices as an elegant appetizer.
Notes
- If using chicken breast instead of rotisserie, poach in lightly salted water or broth with a bay leaf and optional white wine to retain moisture.
- Let poached chicken cool completely before dicing to maintain texture.
- The salad can be served in various ways including on lettuce, sandwiches, wraps, crackers, crostini, or cucumber slices.
- Yields approximately 3 cups of chicken salad.
