Summer is upon us, and even though rain has had more of a presence than the sun lately, I needed something flavorful, but light.  I've posted a  previous recipe for chicken curry salad but I like to explore and find new and exciting ways to create the food that I love.  Tonight's chicken curry was made by poaching three skinless, boneless chicken breasts in a little salted water.  I removed the chicken from the water, cut it up, placed it in a large bowl,  added 4 tablespoons of curry paste and a tablespoon of ground curry (can you tell I love curry?!)  5 stalks of celery minced, a handful of slivered almonds, a handful of red grapes- cut in half , two tablespoons of finely cut cilantro and then added mayonnaise, little by little, until I reached my desired texture.  Instead of having a typical wrap, I spooned the chicken into a green leaf lettuce and had a delicious, filling meal.Thursday, June 7, 2012
Chicken Curry Salad in a Lettuce Wrap
