This Shredded Chicken Curry Salad is super quick and only requires a handful of simple ingredients. This dish goes well in wraps, on salads, or sandwiches. This high-protein recipe is one of my go-to’s all summer long when I crave cool, satisfying meals.
A couple of things to consider when making this dish:
Can I use non-fat Greek yogurt?
Of course! I use full fat Greek yogurt with this recipe because I find that non-fat Greek yogurt is more sour than the full-fat variety. This also varies from brand to brand. As long as you use a plain Greek yogurt, you are good to go!
How should I serve this dish?
My favorite way to enjoy the shredded chicken curry salad is in a wrap. Simply choose your favorite wrap, add cool and crisp veggies like lettuce, cucumbers, and tomatoes. I also always like to add roasted pistachios for a salty crunch and golden raisins for sweet bursts of flavor. This salad is also great in a salad. Simply top a bed of leafy greens with some of the salad and top with the same toppings listed above. If you’d like, add additional dressing, but I find that the shredded chicken itself is flavorful enough!
Now that a couple of common questions are covered, what are you waiting for!? Let’s get cooking…
