Curry Chicken Salad Recipe
You might have to go to the store for this Curry Chicken Salad recipe but let me tell you it is so worth it! Here’s everything you’ll need:
- Coconut Milk, Mayonnaise, Vinegar, Splenda, Curry Powder, Salt, and Pepper –Â these are all of the ingredients needed to make the sauce! Such wonderful depth and a blend of lots of different flavors.
- Chicken –Â to make this recipe even faster, use leftovers or rotisserie chicken!
- Celery, Onion, and Cilantro –Â for refreshing crunch and flavor.
- Shredded Coconut and Almonds –Â I used the sweetened shredded coconut for some contrast to the curry and sliced toasted almonds for even more crunch!
How to Make Curry Chicken Salad
For all of the measurements and other details see the recipe card down below! 🙂
- In a large bowl, whisk together coconut milk, mayonnaise, vinegar, Splenda, curry powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

Variations
Feel free to adjust this recipe to your liking! This Curry Chicken Salad is so easy to make and so easy to eat, here are a couple of ideas:
- Nuts:Â try adding peanuts, cashews, or pecans instead of almonds. All are great options that provide lots of crunch.
- Curry Powder:Â if you have a favorite curry powder you use, use that! Or try experimenting without different kinds.
- Fruit:Â consider adding sliced apples, raisins, or other fruit if you’re looking for more refreshing additions.
