Curried Chicken Waldorf Salad

curried-chicken-waldorf.jpg

You may have noticed that a lot of my recent recipes have been vegetarian.  I definitely am leaning towards a Blue Zone / China Study – approved diet these days, but these diets do have room for meat, and I still do eat it.  I’ve been getting requests for more meat recipes and I do not want to disappoint!  

This chicken salad is great for lunch or dinner.  It’s great over salad leaves, but they don’t store that well.  If you want to make a batch for a week’s worth of lunches, I’d recommend either keeping the leaves separate until serving or doubling everything except the chicken and enjoying it alone (alone as in without the lettuce, you may still eat with whomever you choose).
