Curried Chicken Salad with Apples and Currants
When I started making this with my kids, I added just a little curry powder and balanced it with the sweetness of the apples. Cut back on the curry powder if you don’t think it will go over in your house. Once your kids develop a taste for curry, they will love this.
NotesCall the kids:
• Measure the mayonnaise
• Peel the apple with a hand-held peeler
• Measure the currants or raisins
• Pull the parsley leaves from the stems
• Mix the mayonnaise and curry powder
• Add the remaining ingredients to the mayonnaise mixture
