Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked chicken shredded or diced

- 1/4 cup plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grapes cut in halves
- 1/4 cup celery chopped
- 1/4 cup almonds sliced

Instructions
Cook and prepare chicken
- Cook chicken in a pan with a little salt and water. Let it cool completely. Cut into small cubes or shred into pieces for easy mixing later.
Make the dressing
- In a bowl, add mayonnaise and yogurt. Mix until smooth. Add curry powder, honey, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Stir well until the dressing looks creamy and balanced.
Add the chicken
- Place the cooked chicken into the large mixing bowl. Pour the prepared dressing over it. Mix gently so every piece of chicken is well coated.
Add fruits and crunch
- Add grapes, chopped celery, and sliced almonds into the bowl. Mix slowly so the ingredients stay fresh and keep their texture.
Taste and adjust
- Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if you want stronger flavor. Mix again lightly.
Chill before serving
- Cover the bowl and place it in the fridge for 30 minutes. This helps the flavors blend well and makes the salad taste even better.
Notes
- Use fresh cooked chicken for best flavor
- Do not add too much curry powder
- Chill before serving for better taste
- Use sweet grapes for balance
- Add nuts just before serving for crunch
- Use good quality mayonnaise
