Curried Chicken and Cantaloupe Salad
This Salad serves two as a main course or four as an appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- 1 small cantaloupe
- 1/2 cup seedless green grapes, halved
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 cup cubed cooked chicken, preferably white meat, all skin and fat removed
- 2 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Salt
- Freshly ground white pepper
- 8 large leaves of a flat variety of lettuce, such as red leaf
Method
- In a small saucepan, combine the chicken broth and curry powder. Bring to a boil and reduce until you have about 3 tablespoons of syrup. Cool to room temperature.
- Cut the cantaloupe in half and remove seeds. Cut each half into 1-inch wedges and cut away the rind. Cut each wedge into 1/2-inch cubes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the melon, chicken, grapes, celery, almonds.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, and reduced curry syrup. Add the sour cream, soy sauce, and lemon juice. Add salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Add the dressing to the melon-chicken mixture and toss to combine well. Serve on lettuce leaves.
