Reviews
This salad was a hit with my family. I couldn’t find watercress so I substituted cilantro. I also added thinly sliced radish and I used vanilla flavored yogurt. Delicious!
Absolutely delicious ! I modified a bit because I don’t have grapes or Granny Smith- so I used a pink lady apple, celery and a little sprinkle of red onion. I’m also dairy free so I used equal part plain coconut yogurt and mayonnaise. Loved it ! I also needed to make this quickly so I used Trader Joe’s canned chicken so I pored half of the dressing off to the side. I guess I’ll have to make it again tomorrow. Yum !
Yum! I am not a fan of a lot of mayo, and this recipe is great. My teenage son loves it, and I feel great knowing that he is eating something that is good for him. I highly recommend and recommend exactly as written!
The best chicken salad I’ve ever had!
WATCHING THE SHOW NOW. VALERIE SAID TUMERIC, NOT CURRY!
Great recipe for roasted chicken left overs! The spice combination really pops.
Such a perfect combination of flavors! This is 1 of my favorites !! Thanks Valerie!
This chicken salad recipe has fantastic flavor without the calories! Thanks for the great recipe.
This is great! I made it last night according to the recipe with only the omission of the watercress/parsley. The salad is a great balance of flavor and crunch. I will definitely be keeping this in my recipe box.
My husband loved it and he usually prefers chicken “the regular way.” I suggest starting with less curry and add as needed, especially if you are not used to using it. I also added mandarin oranges and cranberries and walnuts (and skipped the almonds). It’s a very good twist on “the regular way” chicken salad is made.
