Veggie-Loaded Curried Chicken Salad

Veggie-Loaded Curried Chicken Salad

In our opinion, this right here is quintessential summer food. Simple, light, fueling, and not hot. As farmers who spend the majority of our time outdoors, it’s nice to have these kinds of recipes in our repertoire.

What’s even better is when you can make a large batch of something and have leftovers ready to go for several meals. Depending on how many mouths you’re feeding, consider doubling the recipe. Your future self will thank you!

Chicken salad is a classic for good reason. There’s really no wrong way to make it, but we love our veggies and adding a healthy portion not only skyrockets the flavor of chicken salad, but the nutrition too. Enjoy this served in rainbow chard leaves as wraps (pictured), atop your favorite crackers, inside some crusty sourdough, or in a tortilla.
