Read more for all the details on Curry Chicken Salad With Cranberries.

I love prepping easy lunches on the go and chicken salads have always been in the meal rotation! Chicken salads are awesome to keep in the fridge in the beginning on the week because it is so versatile! You can add a scoop to a wrap, top of a fresh garden salad, make a sandwich, mixed in with pasta salad, or even in lettuce wraps!

I used to make my chicken salads super plain and simple but I believe about 4 years ago, I watched someone add some curry powder and it changed my life. Moving forward, I’ve been making the same curry chicken salad with cranberries and it’s a staple in my lunch rotation! I always use a rotisserie chicken and shred it up and it truly makes my life so much easier!

HERE IS HOW TO MAKE CURRY CHICKEN SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES:

WHERE CAN I FIND THESE INGREDIENTS?

You should be able to find these ingredients from any grocery store but I usually pick up a rotisserie chicken from Costco whenever I go. You can get curry powder from the aisle with seasonings, mayonnaise is usually where the oil and dressings are and dried cranberries are usually where the baking supplies are. Aside from that, you’ll want to get celery from the produce section and salt and pepper to taste if you’d like! I love adding lots of pepper but usually omit the salt since the mayonnaise feels salty enough.

WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS?

The ingredients to make these delicious curry chicken salad are:

• Rotisserie Chicken or Shredded Chicken Breast
• Mayonnaise
• Curry Powder
• Dried Cranberries
• Celery
• Salt
• Pepper

WHAT EQUIPMENT DO I NEED?

Honestly, the only equipment you really need is a cutting board and knife to chop up the celery and cranberries but other than that, I usually just mix everything in one bowl with an airtight lid so that I can store it in the fridge immediately. I have measured all the ingredients but I’ve made it so much that I can eye it!

Here are some fav Amazon Kitchen finds:

CAN I SUBSTITUTE/ADD ANYTHING OUT?

This recipe is pretty specific so I personally would not change it however, here are some great additions and subs you can make!:

• Add a dash of turmeric for anti-inflammatory properties
• Add some nuts for an added crunch like pistachios or walnuts
• Substitute the cranberries for any other dried fruits
• Substitute mayo for Greek yogurt for extra protein and lower calories
• Add diced red onions
• Add a chopped hard-boiled egg

WHAT DOES CURRY CHICKEN SALAD WITH CRANBERRIES TASTE LIKE?

Imagine a delicious chicken salad with a unique pop of flavour from curry. Personally, I love dried cranberries and hate celery but for some reason both of these together makes so much sense. I love it! You get a crunch from the celery, a hint of sweetness from the dried cranberries, creaminess and saltiness from the mayo with delicious hearty chicken and a pop of flavour from the curry! Such a rich yet light salad that makes you so excited to eat lunch everyday!

HOW LONG DOES IT KEEP FOR?

This chicken salad is great to store in the fridge for 5 days! Just to sure to not pick in the container and just take what you need and store in the fridge right away. The mayo keeps everything well together and dare I say, this gets better the longer it is in the fridge. The curry powder marinates well in the fridge with all the other ingredients.

INSPIRATIONS FOR THIS RECIPE?

In college, I would always make chicken salad but I remember watching a video where someone put a dash of curry powder and it changed the way I made my chicken salads! I sadly do not remember which content creator shared this but I’ve done many trials until I found the exact measurement of ingredients that worked!

I now make this a couple of times a month and LOVE it! I never get sick of it! Even on the days I want to try to omit the curry powder and make a standard chicken salad, I miss the curry powder and end up adding it in anyways haha!

ANY OTHER NOTES?

If adding the curry powder is intimidating, I would recommend adding less than what I’ve recommended in this recipe and build up from there! You could start with 1/4 tsp then 1/2 tsp as curry powder is quite strong. I add a full tsp but that’s because I love the flavour so much!

Thank you for reading this recipe! Hope you enjoy it!
