Curried Chicken Salad

Ingredients:
  • 4 cups diced poached chicken breast
  • 1/2 cup minced red onion, soaked in cold water for 10 minutes, drained
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh coriander (cilantro)
  • 1 heaping tablespoon golden raisins
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, like soy, peanut, or corn
  • 1 tablespoon Madras-style curry powder
  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon Major Grey's mango chutney, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped cashew nuts or slivered almonds, toasted (optional)
How to Prepare:
In a medium bowl, toss together the chicken, onion, coriander, and raisins.

In a small saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat, add the curry powder, and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove pan from the heat and set oil aside to cool.

In a small bowl mix together the curry oil, mayonnaise, lime juice and chutney. Gently fold the chicken mixture into the flavored mayonnaise. Add the nuts, if desired. Serve on a bed of lettuce or in a pita sandwich.
