Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Cooked chicken breast
- 1 cup Celery
- 1 cup Red grapes, halved
- 1 medium Apple, chopped
- 0.25 cup Red onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Almonds, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro, chopped
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1.5 tablespoons Curry powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Canned coconut milk
- 0.5 cup Vegan mayonnaise
Instructions
Begin by shredding the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and place them into a large mixing bowl.
Add the chopped celery, halved red grapes, chopped apple, finely chopped red onion, sliced almonds, and chopped fresh cilantro into the bowl with the chicken. Toss to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, curry powder, salt, black pepper, canned coconut milk, and vegan mayonnaise until smooth.
Pour the dressing over the chicken mixture. Gently stir all the ingredients until the chicken and vegetables are well coated with the curry dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper, if needed.
Refrigerate the salad for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld, although it can be served immediately if desired.
Serve chilled, either as a filling for sandwiches or over a bed of fresh greens for a light and refreshing meal.
