Fruity Curry Chicken Salad

Adapted from Allrecipes

The great thing about this recipe is the flexibility of the ingredients.  It calls for a lot of different kinds of fruit in the salad, but if you don't have some of them on hand it's not a huge deal; just add more of the other kinds of fruit.  This time making the recipe, I used pineapple tidbits, pear and craisins for the fruit.  The addition of curry to the typical chicken salad recipe is fantastic, but you really need to let it sit to let the curry flavor set in.  Serve on your favorite bread, over lettuce for a salad or in a wrap!

Ingredients:
  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves, cooked and diced
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 4 green onions, chopped
  • 1 Golden Delicious apple, diced
  • 1 pear, diced
  • 1/3 cup craisins
  • 1/3 cup seedless green grapes, halved
  • 1/3 cup canned pineapple chunks, cut small
  • ½ cup toasted pecans or almonds
  • 1/8 tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp curry powder
  • ¼ cup light Miracle Whip
  • ½ cup light mayo
  • 1 Tbs vinegar
Directions:
Combine all ingredients, mix well.  Allow to sit overnight for flavors to bend.  Serve!
