CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD

This is a delicious salad. With an Indian touch. I love it. Let’s make it.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon chopped shallots
1 tablespoon chopped celery
1 tablespoon blenched almonds
1 tablespoon raisins
1 tablespoon chopped apple
1 clove of garlic, chopped
1 chicken breast (boiled) or 1 10 oz can chunk chicken breast
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 or 2 tablespoons mayonnaise sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Some salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

As always, we will prepare the ingredients first. Cut the vegetables in little pieces. If you want to boil the chicken, clean it first removing all the fat you can. Then just boil it in water till the chicken is cooked. But if you use the canned food, remove the water completely. Of course, it is better to use fresh chicken, but the option of canned chicken can be helpuf when you are in a hurry.
Then mix everything except the mayonnaise sauce, the lemon juice and the salt and pepper. Once it is mixed, add the mayonnaise sauce little by little. You can always add more if you want, but if you add all of it at the beginning you may have a salad with a lot of mayonnaise. We do not want that. The last thing is adding salt and pepper to your taste. Mix well and let it cool in the fridge for a couple of hours at least.
A really good salad. A perfect side to serve with a main dish. And as it needs to be refrigerated for some time, you can make in advance and you will have it ready before hand. I think I’ll prepare it right now. Enjoy!
