I hadn't made this in quite a while (since before I moved here) and love
it...and had chicken in the fridge. Normally I like it on Hawaiian
bread (the stuff in the orange package at the supermarket...forget the
brand) but am just having it on regular wheat bread today. I don't have
exact measurements, I just taste and look at it to see if it's right.
Chicken, grapes, apples, walnuts, celery, mayo, hot madras curry powder
and a few drops of honey are the ingredients.

I too love curried chicken salad. I would use apples or (halved) grapes,
not both (soaked raisins are good too). With the fruit, I don't think a
sweetener is needed. Diced scallion or sweet onion is nice. As you
probably know, it is better if it sits for a few hours.

King's Hawaiian Bread.

My salad is similar but I use pineapple instead of apple and toasted
almonds in place of walnuts. It's a summer staple for us, not usually
served as a sandwich.

I never considered that curried chicken salad *needed* sweetener. The
grapes and apples serve that purpose for me. What it *does* need is a
bit of onion though!!

Had I but read ahead, I could have saved the trouble of typing almost
this exact thing on my own reply. Onions are a must, IMO.
What do you use for dressing? I like simple Hellmanns mayonnaise mixed
with Penzey's sweet curry powder.
