It’s nice to have recipe ideas for leftover chicken for tomorrow’s lunch.
This Curried Chicken Salad is a twist on a classic chicken salad recipe. Curry spice is added which adds a vibrant colour and adds anti-inflammatory benefits, thanks to the tumeric that curry spice contains. The salad is then studded with celery and dried currants which adds a nice crunch and a touch of sweetness. Yum.
This recipe is super easy to make. It only takes 5 minutes to make if you already have cooked chicken.
This recipe is naturally gluten free, grain free, low carb, and paleo friendly. Use vegan mayonnaise for dairy free.
Serve on lettuce or on gluten free bread.
