Chicken Curry Salad with Fruit
Friday, February 13, 2009
This recipe was originally from the Lion House cookbook, but I've made a few adjustments to make it more fitting for our family. I love the bright colors and the subtle curry flavor. My kids love the fun noodle and fruit combination. 
The ingredients:
2/3 cup mayonnaise
2 Tbs. lemon juice
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. curry powder
2-1/2 cups cooked chicken, diced
1 cup rotini noodles
1 cup diced celery
Salad greens
1/4 cup slivered blanched almonds
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cantaloupe, but into wedges (we used mango)
1 cup seedless grapes, halved
1 cup canned pineapple chunks, drained
Cook noodles as directed. Let cool. Blend mayonnaise, lemon juice, salt, and curry powder. Pour over chicken, celery, and noodles and mix lightly.
Chill. Just before serving, mound salad in center of a serving platter lined with salad greens (I did it on the individual plates rather than a large serving platter). Sprinkle with almonds. Garnish with avocado and fruits. Serves 6.
Enjoy!

That looks delicious, but I do have a question. No one in my family likes mayo, is their a way to substitute mayo for something else? I tend to not make things that have mayo in it, because I don't know what to do about it.
Lara- I ADORE the choice of fruits with the chicken salad. Canteloupe , pineapple, grapes, it all sounds--- and looks--- so very, very delicious!! Wanna meet for lunch? You bring this, I'll bring magaritas.
Charlene--I don't know what it would be like without mayo. You could try some kind of salad dressing or something, but the mild curry flavor is what makes it really good. It's not super saucy so maybe they wouldn't realize it was mayo??? I say make it for friends sometime and save them a little to try?
Donna--lunch sounds great!
This is a must try! Looks delish!!!
I tried this salad tonight and it was delicious. I used kiwi instead of the pineapple and i also made extra dressing to serve on the side. Great flavor. Thank you for the recipe.
