I’m such a big fan of chicken salad- especially this one. The sweetness of the grapes combined with the crunch of nuts and celery and cooked chicken all mixed together in a tangy and delicious curry mayonnaise dressing is wonderful. It happens to be awesome served on a roll to make chicken salad sandwiches.

The complete, printable recipe is at the end of this post.

In a medium bowl, combine chicken, grapes, celery, and almonds; mix well.

In a separate bowl, mix the mayo, lemon juice, curry and soy sauce. Stir into the chicken mixture a little at a time until you reach your desired creaminess. Chill, covered, for 2 hours or longer. Why is there a chill time? The chill time gives the flavors in the chicken salad a chance to meld. It’ll be more tasty if you can give it some time in the fridge first.

When ready to serve, add the chicken mixture to rolls (if you’re eating it as a sandwich). I actually like to make this sometimes and just eat the chicken salad without any bread at all. You can also spoon the chicken salad mixture into lettuce to make lettuce wraps!
