My version of curried chicken salad with almonds is the perfect balance of sweet and savory. I use cranberries for added sweetness and texture. This chicken salad is perfect on a sandwich or served with crackers and dipped.
Curry Elevates a Basic Chicken Salad
Chicken salad can be a little boring the addition of curry powder elevates the dish and adds a ton of flavor. The combination of mayo and Greek yogurt lends a creamy texture and tangy flavor. The Onion adds flavor and the slivered almonds add crunch while a touch of honey gives the chicken salad a touch of sweetness. The recipe is simple and you can use leftover chicken, rotisserie chicken, or cook up a few chicken breasts.
