Ready to kick things up a bit? This Curry Chicken Salad recipe works as a delicious chopped salad over greens, an appetizer on top of crostini or baguette, and a great filling for your sandwich. So many healthy possibilities that taste fantastic.

These days, I’m still not a regular sandwich eater. Unless it’s this Hawaiian grilled cheese sandwich we’re talking about. The Hubby and Littles are with me on that one.
When I have fun with sandwiches these days, it’s mostly with my girlfriends. It’s fun and easy to have friends over for build-your-own lunches. Little prep and everyone’s happy.
Put out some cheeses, deli meats, and veggies. Your favorite breads like ciabatta or croissants. Have something different, like this Curried Salmon Salad filling to kick things up a bit.
Big bonus: this Curried Chicken Salad easily feeds a crowd. I can make a batch and rest assured that nobody will go away hungry. The mild curry adds a wonderful flavor to the mixture of tender flaky salmon, sweet raisins, and crispy apples.
Try it with toasted ciabatta rolls, baguettes, croissants, or flatbread. Use it as a topping for crostini or crackers. Or even mix it up with healthy greens for a yummy chopped salad. Oh, the possibilities!
