Green Curry Chicken Salad

January 27, 2009

This is a fun twist on the classic curried chicken salad. It's brighter and lighter with the apples and lime juice, and more flavorful with the lemongrass in the curry. The chilies in the curry also adds a nice kick! Increase or decrease the amount of curry to adjust the spice. This salad can also be served in sandwiches. Try substituting tuna for a "pescatarian" version.

Green Curry Chicken Salad

½ roasted chicken
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, and chopped
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Thai Green Curry Paste
1 Lime, Juiced
1 tablespoon fish sauce
¼ cup green onion, chopped
1 head Romaine lettuce

Remove skin from chicken and then meat from bones. Shred meat, discarding skin and bones. In a medium sized bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, green curry paste, lime juice, and fish sauce. Mix in shredded chicken, chopped apple and green onion. Chill and serve on a bed of Romaine or Bib lettuce.
