Curried Chicken Pitas

From EatingWell: September/October 2009

Cranberries and pear are sweet counterpoints in this tangy curried chicken salad. Toasted sliced almonds add a nutty crunch.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I don't typically like fruit in my chicken salad, but the cranberry in particular gives it a great tartness and compliments the spice of the curry very well. The crunch from the almonds is a wonderful tactile element. Another home run...

light and yummy

Did not have pears so I used pecans and a Gala apple. I also added raisins. My curry, unfortunately, was too old. It gave the salad a powdery taste. Adding 2 more tablespoons of mayo took care of the problem. I will make this again with new spices, and plan to add it to my "go-to" recipe list.

great lunch

I have made this both as written and with the addition of a little bit of fig butter for added sweetness, and it's good both ways. This is somewhat similar to a recipe I used to have for curried tuna salad, and I think it would also work well with canned tuna if you don't have cooked chicken on hand.

Pros: easy, filling

Very good!

We loved this! I used canned chicken and added diced red onion as well. It was super good and I will definately make this again!

Great Summer Sandwich

I followed the instructions exactly (although I did use light miracle whip instead of light mayo) I really enjoyed this sandwich. Although it filled me up it seems more like a really good lunch recipe than dinner. My only con was the sprouts. I felt like they just didn't blend with the curry. I tried it the second time with romaine lettuce and loved it. The romaine had a more mild flavor that blended much better with the curry.

Pros: Texture, Flavorful

Delightful Summer Sandwich

Loved this. I added a tsp of turmeric along with curry, 1/3 cup of cranberries, and bean sprouts which added a wonderful crunch along with the almonds. Next time I think I'll toast the almonds first.

Pros: Great use of pantry staples
