Coronation Chicken Salad Recipe
Servings 4
Coronation Chicken is a light and delicious summer salad, gently spiced with curry powder and sweetened with fresh and dried fruit.
Ingredients
- 3 to 4 cold cooked chicken breasts, skin removed, diced in small pieces
- 1 small red onion, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 crisp apple, cored and finely chopped (do not peel)
- ½ cup seedless grapes, halved It's nice to use a mixture of red and green grapes if you can. Extra grapes can be used as a garnish.
- ¼ cup raisins or sultanas
- ¼ cup flaked toasted almonds plus extra for garnish
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise I use Hellmann's Extra Light Mayonnaise
- 4 tablespoons plain yogurt, crème fraîche or sour cream (you can use half or reduced fat if you like)
- 2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon celery salt
- pinch of salt
- freshly ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- sliced lettuces to serve
Instructions
- Put the diced chicken breasts, red onion, apple, ½ cup grapes, raisins and ¼ cup flaked toasted almonds in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, yogurt (crème fraîche or sour cream), curry powder, celery salt, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Whisk together until blended.
- Stir the mayonnaise mixture into the chicken, vegetable, fruit and nut mixture until well mixed. It's easiest to toss the mixture lightly using two forks.
- Serve on a bed of thinly sliced lettuces, garnished with extra halved grapes and flaked toasted almonds.
