Summer and Chicken Salad are total Bffs.  They told me so last time we were out shopping for vintage hankies together.  They must have seen the sheer devestation in my sad, forlorn face, because they took me by the hand and said that I could be their Bff, too.  Thank the fluffy chicken gods, or I would have driven home in shame,  crawled in my bed and never come out again.

Well, of course that’s not reality, but if it were, I’d have to tell my new Bff, Chicken Salad, she needed a bit of a makeover… as if she could ever curry a favor from me. Woka, woka.

This summer, my Curry Chicken Salad is taking the place of the plain-ole, regular grilled chicken that I usually ingest on my field greens and it’s DIVINE.  Sweet and spicy in all the right ways.

Here’s the recipe, just for you, love of my life…
