CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD
1
hourSpiced with Curry Powder and Turmeric, studded with cashews and sweetened with raisins, there’ s so much to love about the chicken salad. When we tested this recipe, it happened to be alongside our Lemon Garlic Kale Salad which turned into the topping for the chicken salad sandwiches. A happy accident that we highly recommend!
