Curry Chicken Salad
Curry Chicken Salad is a chilled mix of shredded cooked chicken combined with celery, red onion, raisins, and a curry-infused mayonnaise dressing. The salad presents a balance of savory and mildly spiced flavors with subtle sweetness from the raisins and a slightly crunchy texture from the celery. It works well as a sandwich filling, lettuce wrap, or atop leafy greens for a light meal.
