Curried Chicken Salad

What to do with all that leftover chicken or turkey from a whole roast? Curried chicken salad is super easy and one of my favorite ways to stretch out leftovers. It’s just chicken, mayo, cranberries, nuts, and curry powder. And everyone gobbles it up!


Ingredients

Leftover roast chicken 
1 cup mayonnaise
3 tbsp curry powder
1/2 cup cranberries
1/2 cup roasted cashews or almonds
Any other garnishes you like (green onions, celery, chutney)


Directions

Put your leftover chicken pieces into a large bowl, and add all the other ingredients.

Mix well until thoroughly combined, and taste for salt/pepper/curry powder. Adjust as needed.

Serve in a sandwich, as a snack, or with leftover vegetables from the roast dinner.
