Whole30 Thursdays - Curry Chicken Salad

       This week Margaret and I went with an easy cold lunch option, perfect for these hot summer days.  We made Curry Chicken Salad, found on page 18 of Whole30 Fast & Easy.

       Using W30 compliant ingredients:  chicken, mayonnaise, lime juice, cilantro, curry powder, salt, apple, celery, red onion, carrots, green onions, and cashews. (I used parsley rather than cilantro and chives rather than green onions.)

       Chicken Salad is something I love making and changing up, depending on the ingredients that I have on hand, and what flavors I am craving at the moment.  It's always fun to try a new recipe...and this Curry Chicken Salad is just wonderful.  It is full of interesting flavors and character, all the ingredients work well together.  Best of all, I usually have each of the ingredients on hand, so no special trip to the grocery store, etc. 

        Always a fan of lettuce cups and wraps, I served this on a small plate in lettuce cups with slices of yellow bell pepper for my lunch. It was even better the next day after all the ingredients spent the night together.  Definitely a recipe worth repeating, it was all delicious and filling, a perfect lunch.  Next week we plan to make BBQ Pulled Chicken Wraps on page 15. 

        While we will not be posting the actual recipes from the book (we encourage you to honor the author and to buy the book so that you can own the recipes yourselves), we will share our photos and  ingredients and comments on each. If you would like to join in, just leave the link to your post so we can come and read all about it.  Even if you aren't eating Whole 30ish, the recipes and food are wonderful and fit into any meal plan.
