Warm curry spices transform ordinary chicken salad into something special, perfect for garden parties or a fancy luncheon that doesn’t require hours in the kitchen.

The cantaloupe wedge isn’t just for show; its sweet melon flavor plays beautifully against the savory, spiced chicken.

This is Mom’s go-to when she wants to impress without the stress.

Chef Tips

  • Toast your curry powder in a dry pan for 30 seconds to wake up the flavors before mixing
  • Chill the salad for at least 2 hours so the curry flavor mellows and blends
  • Choose a ripe cantaloupe that gives slightly when pressed at the stem end
  • Add diced celery and slivered almonds for extra crunch if desired

Ingredients

2 c cooked turkey, cubed (canned is good)
5 oz can water chestnuts
1/2 lb green grapes
1/2 c chopped celery
1/2 c toasted slivered almonds

2/3 c mayo
1/2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp soy sauce

Serve on a wedge of canteloupe for extra fanciness. (Except I don’t like canteloupe!)
