Believe it or not, my Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome friends and I actually do talk about things besides HPS. HA! Lately, with the holidays, it seems we talk a lot about our favorite recipes.
It may come as a shock to those that know me, but I actually can cook. I don’t very often, but I do know how. Yet, as a single person I typically go for the quick and easy recipes. One of my very favorites is chicken curry salad. Okay, maybe not so quick, but it is easy. The trouble is I don’t exactly have a recipe, so you’ve got to be daring and willing to wing it a bit to do this one.
My mom says curry is good for the lungs. I have no idea where she read it, or why it would be true – but hey, I LOVE curry so I’m not arguing the point. Bring on the curry therapy!
Ingredients
Cooked chicken (however much you think you’ll need to feed your family)
Cucumber
Celery
Two oranges
Red seedless grapes
Red onion
Curry powder
Mayonnaise (I use the light kind)
Soy sauce
Cut up the chicken, onion, celery, cucumber, oranges and grapes into little pieces using however much you like (or however much you need to feed everyone.) In a separate bowl make the dressing. The mayonnaise is the base, so put as much as you think you need in the bowl to coat the size of your salad. Add to it a few splashes of soy sauce and some curry powder. I do this to taste – I like it light on the soy sauce and lots of curry powder. Stir it up so that it mixes well, and then dump over the salad. Mix it well into the salad. Yummy! Because of the oranges, it will be pretty watery on the second day, but it’s still good.
