No need to heat up the kitchen for this tasty chicken salad. Raisins, curry powder and cooked chicken make this salad a light, refreshing summer meal.
Curry powder is a blend of several spices. A true curry powder is freshly made each time it is used. Although not authentic, prepared curry powder, found in the spice section of the supermarket, works well in this recipe. It doesn’t keep long, about two to three months at most. If you have an old bottle on your spice rack, it’s best to buy a fresh one.
Helpful Hints:
- Any type of rotisserie or cooked chicken can be used.
- Honeydew melon or peaches can be used instead of cantaloupe.
- Buy cantaloupe already cut into cubes for quick preparation.
Countdown:
- Mix sauce together.
- Add chicken.
- Line plates with salad leaves.
- Add chicken salad.
- Toast bread.
