My curried chicken salad is much spicier, thanks to a heaping tablespoon of curry powder and a pinch of cayenne pepper
Ingredients
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and chopped into bite-size pieces
2 tablespoons finely diced shallots
1/4 cup diced celery, plus 1 tablespoon chopped leaves
1/2 cup halved red grapes
1 tablespoon lemon juice, or to taste
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch sugar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
White sandwich bread or Little Gem lettuce cups, for serving
Directions
In a large bowl, stir together the chicken, shallots, celery, celery leaves, grapes, lemon, mayo, curry powder, cayenne pepper, sugar, salt, and pepper until fully incorporated. Let sit in the fridge for a couple hours (or overnight) before eating. Tastes better that way, for some reason.
