Curry Chicken Salad

This may be a new favorite to make for the week! I love the flavors of curry and this curry chicken salad is no exception! This also reminded me I need to make a curry here soon. I’ve never attempted that dish at home! This chicken salad is also super easy to prepare for the week and use in a variety of ways. I feel like I say this with everything I make, but food that can be used in a variety of ways are the kind of meals that I like. That makes it easier to not get sick of what you made because you’re eating it in a variety of ways each time.

Curry Chicken Salad

A few ways that I like to use Curry Chicken Salad:

• On butter lettuce leaves
• As a wrap
• On sweet potato toast
• With crackers

You can really switch up a few things based off what you like/have on hand.

For example, use a rotisserie chicken if you don’t want to wait for the chicken to cook in the crockpot! Or you can make your own mayo if you have an immersion blender on hand (still need to get one of those :)), you can leave the grapes out if you want (I like them because I feel like it adds a little sweetness to the salad), etc. I hope you love it!

What you need to make Curry Chicken Salad:

• Shredded chicken breast: I shredded mine by cooking in the crockpot for 4 hrs or so but you could also use rotisserie chicken
• Celery
• Walnuts (could also do slivered almonds, or omit, etc)
• Grapes
• Mayo made with Avocado Oil (I use Primal Kitchen) but you could also make your own!
• Dijon mustard
• Shredded carrots
• Seasonings: curry powder, turmeric powder, garlic powder, sea salt and pepper
• Green onion (optional)

Why prepping for the week is helpful:

• Makes meal time easier!
• Less cooking during the week
• Less ingredients that go to waste
• Relieves the stress of having to plan for meals each day

How I store my chicken salad for the week:

I like to prep it and store it in these containers to keep for the week. These hold up well and keep the food staying fresh for days.
