Curried Chicken Salad

With Valentines Day right around the corner, I am already thinking of a Valentines Day Tea  Party…My daughter Elizabeth and her little Winston will be here.   You know me… this is my happiness; to have my children and grandchildren coming and going and coming back again.  My Creativity is stirring  and  I am thinking….what will we do, what I will serve?   I realize that I have been hungry for Curried Chicken Salad sandwiches, among other things.  So I made up a batch for Steve and I… for now…while I think about our happy Valentines Day yet to come and the rest of the Tea party ideas…and well,  I'll am still working on the rest, but here is the chicken salad recipe for now.

2 Chicken Breasts; cooked and cubed

1 small onion; chopped

2 stalks of celery; finely chopped

3 Tablespoons Capers

1/4 cup chopped almonds or cashews

2 hardboiled eggs, chopped and

2/3 cups mayonnaise

1-2 teaspoons Curry Powder (I used 2).

2 teaspoons Red Palm Oil (optional) and 1 teaspoon lemon juice; mix all together.

It is good….

and hits the spot….

and helps inspire the rest of my tea party plans.

Today it is tucked nicely in this healthy low-carb  bun...

which tastes very good..

open faced might be nice for the tea party… or perhaps a thin soft bread with the crusts removed and cut in triangles… I will let you know.

Put all ingredients in a large bowl.  Mix together.  Use for sandwiches or on top of greens for a salad.  This makes a great S meal for Trim Healthy Mama cooks.  I used  the low carb flax buns to make the sandwiches above.
