  • 3 tablespoons vegetable, canola or safflower oil (eyeball it)
  • 1/4 cup sliced smoked almonds (2 ounces)
Serves 4

Preparation

Combine meat, celery, red grapes, carrot and scallions. Add yogurt and curry to the salad and toss to evenly distribute the curry. Season the salad with salt and pepper, to your taste.

To dress the greens, add salad to a bowl. In a second bowl, combine chutney and vinegar. Whisk in oil. Drizzle dressing over greens and toss.

To assemble, pile dressed greens on a plate. Using an ice cream scoop, place two scoops of chicken salad on greens. Garnish with toasted almonds.
