Curry Chicken Salad

This Curry Chicken Salad recipe is a delicious blend of chicken, savory curry powder, sweet grapes, scallions, celery and cashews for a side dish, snack or a great sandwich.

This curry chicken salad with grapes recipe is so easy to make and so good!

Trust me, if you like curry, you will love this recipe!

This chicken curry salad with grapes recipe is a great way to use up any leftover cooked chicken you have as long as it isn’t heavily seasoned – like a lemon-pepper seasoned chicken – since that would impact the flavors of this recipe. Salt and pepper seasoning is just fine. You can use grilled chicken, roasted chicken, or even a store-bought rotisserie chicken. I like to use boneless skinless chicken breasts that I bake and then shred.
