Curried Chicken or Tuna Salad (serves 4)


Curried Chicken or Tuna Salad (serves 4)

In going through my recipes recently, I came across the recipe which was the inspiration for the below. Having made this many times with many variations, this is a quick recipe which can be made a day or two in advance, served as a sandwich, over a salad or by itself.

Curried Chicken or Tuna Salad (serves 4)

2 whole chicken breasts, cooked, de-boned and shredded or 1 6 ounce can white tuna, drained and broken apart with a fork
½ medium onion, diced (red onion recommended)
1 medium Granny Smith apple, diced
¼ cup raisins (golden recommended)
½ cup mayonnaise, plus extra, if needed
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon curry powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste (optional)

In a bowl, combine chicken or tuna, onion, apple and raisins. Add mayonnaise, vinegar, curry powder to chicken or tuna and combine until well blended. If needed, add additional mayonnaise by 1 tablespoon to get desired consistency. Add salt and black pepper to taste. Serve or refrigerate in airtight container until ready to use.
