Cold Curry Chicken Salad

 Summer is for all day fun and picnicking for sure.
Cold food items are always important 
when playing in the sunshine.
I like to pack a cooler full with lunch, snacks, water and juice. 
With four kids you can imagine 
just how large my cooler has to be.
Luckily, it has wheels. 
(Someone was thinking at that time of purchase.)
Anyway, a few days ago,
I took this salad on a picnic to the beach. 
It was cold and good!
Give it a try.
 Cold Curry Chicken Salad
2 lbs. cooked and cubed chicken breasts
1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
3 c.  fresh grapes, cut in half
3 celery stalks, sliced
1 c. apples, chopped
1 c. low fat mayonnaise
6 oz. plain yogurt
2 1/2 T. honey
1 1/2 T. yellow curry spice 
2 T. fresh lemon juice
Dash of salt 
Place first five ingredients in a large bowl. 
Mix together last six ingredients in a small bowl
and then pour over the ingredients in the large bowl. 
Toss till coated well. 
Refrigerate until ready to serve. 
Crackers on the side. 
                                                 Yum. 
                                      Perfect for a picnic.
*It must be kept quite cold because of the mayo and yogurt.
 Sail away this summer and enjoy.
