Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad Recipe

I’ve got a quick recipe to share with y’all today, and I’m inclined to believe that you are going to really enjoy this one; Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad!
Chicken salad is one of my go-to lunches, especially when I have a rotisserie chicken sitting in the fridge that needs to be used up. I love this version because the curry powder gives it AMAZING flavor, and the Greek yogurt is much healthier than traditional mayo. Plus, you get a nice crunch from the almonds and the grapes help to balance everything nicely.
This Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad is delicious with crackers, on top of salad greens, OR…. my personal favorite, spooned onto a buttery croissant with some leafy lettuce for good measure. SO GOOD!

Greek Yogurt Curry Chicken Salad
Ingredients
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon lime juice
- 3-4 teaspoons curry powder
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- pepper to taste
- 2 cups shredded, cooked chicken, (I use a rotisserie chicken)
- 2 green onions, , sliced
- 1/4 cup slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup grapes, , cut in half
- 2 stalks celery,, chopped
- 2 Tablespoons raisins,, optional
Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, lime juice, curry powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Add the chicken, green onions, slivered almonds, grapes, celery, and raisins (if using) to the dressing. Stir everything well to combine. Serve as a sandwich, over a bed of fresh salad greens, or with pita chips and fresh chopped veggies. Keeps in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Enjoy!
I forgot to add that I did have to thin the yogurt with a little water, since the one I used was super thick and I did use shredded chicken instead of cubed (more surface area means more moisture is needed).
I put double the amount of celery and raisins, and used poached chicken that I shredded in my blender before adding. and it was so good! We had it with some bread for dinner, then again for lunch the next day.
I was on the search for something healthier than my go-to Mayo heavy chicken salad and am so glad I found this recipe! I made it exactly according to the recipe and will definitely make it again. The only thing I’ll change is to add much less salt (but that is just my preference). Also, don’t skimp on the lime – I think that’s an essential ingredient!
Chicken salad is one of my favorites and the flavors in this sound amazing! I’ll have to give this a try.
YUM this looks great , it reminds me of a recipe from a local place call Chicken Salad Chicks which we love so I must give your recipe a try very soon!
