One of my favorite recipes to prepare in advance for a week’s worth of simple yet delectable lunches is curry chicken salad. This dish has a ton of wonderful texture and is quite tasty. This chicken salad can be consumed in a variety of ways, including sandwiches, salads, lettuce cups, spooned into cucumbers or other vegetables, dipped in pita, spread on toast, or just eaten directly from the container. Curry chicken salad also makes a delicious party appetizer. To serve, spoon some into little cucumber cups, finger sandwiches, or crackers.

Reviews
I left out the celery only because I didn’t have any on hand. Used plant-based chicken. Loved it! So easy and quick to make for lunch or easy dinner
Easy to make, and delicious. Didn’t have raisins, but otherwise followed the recipe as written. Thank you!
Absolutely wonderful! I think it’s all I ate for three days! Letting the flavors meld for several hours or overnight is the way to go, thank you!
