Chicken and salad: two great foods on their own that make for a lousy dish when combined. That's because salad, when attached to chicken, is secret speak for mayo overload. In fact, chicken and tuna salad sandwiches are consistently the worst option you'll find on a deli menu, be it Subway or your neighborhood sandwich shop. We use a modest amount of olive-oil-based mayo, then punch up the flavor with plump golden raisins and the complex savory notes of curry powder. Make a big batch and bring it to work all week in sandwiches, stuffed in pitas, or crowning a bowl of mixed greens. You'll Need: | |
3 Tbsp | golden raisins |
3 cups | chopped cooked chicken |
2 stalks | celery, thinly sliced |
1/2 | onion, diced |
1 | carrot, shredded |
1/2 tsp | curry powder |
1/4 cup | olive-oil mayonnaise |
Salt | |
black pepper to taste | |
4 large | lettuce leaves, (romaine, iceberg, or anything else) |
8 slices | whole-grain bread or English muffin halves, toasted |
2 medium | tomatoes, sliced |
*Cover the raisins with hot water and soak for at least 10 minutes (the warm water will help the raisins plump up); drain and place in a large bowl. Add the chicken, celery, onion, carrot, curry powder, and mayonnaise. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
*Place the lettuce leaves on top of 4 bread slices, then top with tomatoes, chicken salad, and the remaining bread.
