Ingredients
- 500 g (1 lb) skinless, boneless cooked chicken in 10 cm (4 inch) strips
- 1 teaspoon Indian curry paste
- 150 ml (2/3 cup) mayonnaise
- 150 ml (2/3 cup) natural yogurt
- 1 small lettuce, shredded
- 75 g (1/3 cup) walnuts, chopped
- 100 g (3 1/2 ounces) green seedless grapes, halved
- 4 spring onions (scallions) or 1 small onion, chopped finely
- 2 dessert apples
- 4 stalks of celery, chopped
- Juice of a lemon
- Salt and black pepper
Method
- Combine the mayonnaise and yogurt.
- Mix the curry paste and lemon juice and fold this into the mayonnaise mixture.
- Core and slice the apples without peeling them.
- Add these to the mayonnaise with the grapes, walnuts, celery and onions.
- Add the chicken, turning to coat well with the mayonnaise.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper and perhaps more lemon juice if necessary.
- Divide the lettuce between 4 bowls, arrange the salad on top and serve right away.
Notes
I usually use mild Indian curry paste but you could experiment with other flavors, such as red or green Thai chili paste. Pick mild, medium or spicy, depending on what you prefer.
