If you are like me, then time is really limited and sometimes you just want something quick and easy for lunch or dinner. This is especially true for busy working parents. This curry chicken salad is likely too spicy for most kids, but it’s a great adult meal that is quick and tastes really exotic. Serve with crackers or bread and you’ve got a tasty meal! Also great as part of a spread for high tea.
