Going to Whole Foods and picking up their curry chicken salad recipe is a delicious dish I buy ALL THE TIME. Since I haven’t been there in a while, I wanted to replicate this dish with a little twist.
This curry chicken salad recipe has cranberries instead of raisins. Cranberries are a wonderful alternative to raisins. Cranberries have less sugar than raisins. They are also lower in calories than raisins and have slightly more fiber.
