Curried Chicken Salad

One of my absolute favorite quick meals for Sunday meal-prep day would have to be curried chicken salad. All of the flavors and textures mix so well together, it ends up being a treat for my lunch all week long. Although I tend to stick to the recipe posted below, I love to mix it up with new ingredients and textures. Make this on a Sunday (and if it lasts) you’ll have an easy grab and go lunch all week long.

Serve this on whole wheat crackers, in lettuce wraps, in baby bell peppers or a tomato, or just eat it on its own!
