CURRIED CHICKEN SALAD:
We can all agree raisins don’t belong in potato salad but this is me trying to convince you why they do belong in chicken salads. Specifically this curried chicken salad, a burst of flavor, the perfect combination of textures, and a touch of sweetness, it’s the perfect balanced bite and takes 10 minutes to make.
My boyfriend made this for me for lunch one day inspired by a recipe his mom used to make and when I tell you one bite transported me to my childhood, eating a curried chicken salad crepe from Crepes y Waffles in Madrid (IYKYK). The flavors are so freaking good and it’s the perfect lunch to have in a tortilla, lettuce cups, or as a sandwich. You gotta try this one!
