Curry Chicken Salad is made with:

Chicken: use rotisserie chicken or I often bake or cook chicken in the instant pot to shred
Celery: adds a light crunch to the chicken salad
Green onions: are a great onion for this recipe because they do not have an overpowering flavor
Golden raisins: add a touch of sweetness to balance the savory
Cashews: chopped cashews for extra crunch and some healthy fats
Mayoanise: I like to use chosen food or primal kitchen mayo for an avocado oil-based mayo
Greek yogurt: Use a thick Greek yogurt, I tend to like 2% for this recipe
Honey: Adds a touch of sweetness to the curry
Spices: in this recipe, we will need curry powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper
