One great thing about curry chicken salad is that it makes the dish more satisfying as a stand-alone meal — and even better as a sandwich or side. Adding that kick of curry powder makes every bite more interesting and means it can complement even more meals. If you have curry powder stocked in your pantry, you probably also have everything else you need. Popping a few tablespoons into your favorite chicken salad recipe is all it takes yet is totally transformational. You can also easily pick up or drop the amount of spice you are using to your taste with no other adjustments needed.
Curry chicken’s profile also works well with plenty of extra additions for more personalization. We like to use fresh grapes for sweetness and a bit of crunch, but lots of dried fruits like cranberries, raisins, or cherries are also great. Adding more cayenne or some hot sauce can bring a heat that pairs naturally with the other spices. You can customize your own curry powder blend, too. Easy to make, easy to change, and packed with flavor, curry chicken salad is as good as it gets.
