Apple Curry Chicken Salad Recipe

Apple curry chicken salad

I got this enticing recipe from my mother-in-law, Fran, who got it from a friend in Oregon. The recipe has since been modified. If I had to choose my favorite chicken salad, this would be it – hands down. I love curry, and pairing it with apples, grapes, and chicken is unbelievably delicious. The curry flavor is not as pronounced as one might think. It is just the right amount to bring all the flavors together. It is perfectly great on its own, or prepared as a sandwich or on top of a leafy green salad. Even the non-curry lover would appreciate this chicken salad version.
