Curried Chicken Salad


Curried Chicken Salad

1 ½ C Mayonnaise
1 Tbs Curry Powder
½ Tsp Ground Ginger
3 Chicken Breasts, cooked, shredded*
3 stalks celery, chopped
½ small red onion, chopped
¼ C (A handful) chopped fresh cilantro

 

Mix mayo, curry and ginger in a small bowl.
Put chicken, celery, onion and cilantro in a big bowl. Add mayo mixture and mix until evenly spread. 

This is definitely not your momma’s chicken salad! I found this in a South Beach Diet cookbook.  Instead of the mayo, it had yogurt. I remember trying it that way, and thinking it was ok, but not what I wanted.  So, I thought I would reboot it with mayonnaise instead.  I love the nutty flavor of the curry and celery!  It might be nice to add some crunchy almond on top.  I could even see adding some dried apricot…or cherries?

*I cooked my chicken in the crock pot with a little salt and pepper so it would cook while I was away.  You could also boil or bake it… whatever you like!

Zuppa Toscana

Zuppa Toscana (OG Copycat!) I had made a lot of tomato-based soups lately, so I decided to go wit this.   It is supposedly a copycat of the Olive Garden recipe.   As usual, I had to make some of my own adjustments.   (Not as much kale and more broth/cream than called for) This turned out sooooo good!   I am afraid I’m going to eat it all up before even having a chance to freeze any for later!   A great comfort food for depressing winters! Olive oil 1 lb Italian Sausage (casing removed) 4 slices of bacon, diced   (bacon, bacon, Bacon BACOOOOOOON!) 1 sm-md yellow onion, chopped 3 14.5 oz cans of chicken broth 2 cups (or cans worth!) of water 1 ½ lb russet potatoes (about 4)   sliced and diced.   (leave skin on if desired- rinse and scrub first!) 1 ½ tsp sugar ½ tsp crushed fennel seeds   (these are optional, but I wouldn’t leave them out if you can help it!) Salt and pepper 2 C half and half (I actually used 32 ...
