Ingredients in Curry Chicken Salad

• Chicken – I prefer to use store-bought rotisserie chicken, which I shred, but you can also make your own chicken breasts to shred or dice. Feel free to try a different protein instead of fried chicken if you prefer.
• curry powder – 1-2 teaspoons of curry powder. Add more or less depending on your taste.
• celery – No chicken salad without celery!
• Green Onions – only white + light green parts. Feel free to use red onions if you prefer.
• raisins – the effervescence works very well with a little sweetness. You can also add fresh fruit like chopped grapes or apples.
• slivers of almonds – for a bit of crunch. Feel free to omit if there aren’t any nuts.
• mayonnaise – I like to use mayo in this recipe, but you can easily swap in Greek yogurt if you prefer.
• salt + pepper – add to taste. Feel free to cut back on salt as you reduce sodium intake.
