I  love it when my friend Joelle makes Curried Chicken Salad.

I looked online and found this recipe by The Pioneer Woman.

I like putting the grapes (halved) into the salad.

Perfect for summer!

Curried Chicken Pasta Salad

3 lbs. chicken, cooked and diced/shredded
6 oz., weight dry pasta, cooked and drained
4 whole ribs celery, thinly sliced - leaves included (use interior ribs)
3⁄4 c. golden raisins
3⁄4 c. slivered almonds
1⁄2 c. mayonnaise
1⁄2 c. sour cream
1 c. heavy cream
3 T. curry powder, more or less to taste
1 T. sugar, more or less to taste
1 t. kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Boil chicken to cook. Boil pasta in chicken broth. Dice/shred chicken. Drain pasta.

Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, heavy cream, curry powder, sugar, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined.

Combine chicken, drained pasta, sliced celery, raisins, and almonds in a large bowl. Pour curry dressing over the top. Fold together with a rubber spatula. Make sure it’s all combined, then add more of whatever it needs. Make sure the sweet/savory balance is right for you! (I like mine a little sweet.)

Chill for several hours. Serve with juicy grapes on the side.
