Ingredients
  

  • 3 breasts chicken cooked and diced (about 3 cups)
  • 1 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tablespoon honey mustard
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1/2 cup grapes sliced
  • 2 stalks celery diced
  • 1/2 cup cashews
  • Kosher salt and black pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Chef's Knife
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Cutting Board
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, add Greek yogurt, honey mustard, and curry powder. Whisk these together until they form a smooth, creamy dressing.
  2. Next, season your mixture with Kosher salt and black pepper to taste. Remember, you can always add more seasoning later, so start with a little and adjust as you go.
  3. Now, take your cooked and diced chicken and add it to the bowl. Gently fold it into the dressing, ensuring that all the pieces are well coated.
  4. Add in the sliced grapes, diced celery, and cashews. These ingredients not only add flavor but also texture.
  5. Once everything is mixed together, take a moment to taste your creation. This is the perfect time to adjust the seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if necessary.
  6. Now, cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and let it sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
  7. When you’re ready to serve, give the salad a quick stir and garnish with additional cashews or grapes if you like. Serve it chilled or at room temperature for the best experience!

Notes

  • Tip 1: For a quick meal use pre-cooked rotisserie chicken.
  • Tip 2: To bake chicken - season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, place in a baking dish and cook at 375°F for 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
  • Tip 3: To make your own honey mustard, whisk together 1 teaspoon each of dijon mustard, mayonnaise, and honey with 1/2 teaspoon white vinegar.
