Curried Chicken Salad - Something Natural, Nantucket image

From the Something Natural restaurant in Nantucket, MA as seen on Rachael Ray's $40 a Day. This is a very flavorful, no mayonnaise, chicken salad that is excellent served on croissants, multi-grain bread or salad greens. I have adapted to use 1/2 c. sour cream and 1/2 c. yogurt rather than 1 c. yogurt. Be sure to taste as you season because flavor may vary depending on the strength of your curry powder and Dijon mustard.

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 lbs boneless and skinless cooked chicken, cooled and cut into small cubes
1/2 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4-1/2 cup Dijon mustard, to taste
1 1/2 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper, plus more to taste
1/2 cup raisins or 1 cup halved red seedless grapes
kosher salt, to taste
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup cashews
croissants or salad greens

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine yogurt, mustard, curry powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Add the cubed chicken and raisins. Season with salt, pepper and more cayenne, if desired. Refrigerate 30 minutes to allow flavors to blend.
  • Mix in the cashews right before serving so they stay crunchy. Serve as a sandwich on bread or on a bed of lettuce as a salad.
