More Wining = More Nibblies

When wining, I usually make some kind of a charcuterie tray since they are so easy to take with us, and meats, cheese, crackers, and various spreads all go very well with wine. I also usually bring a variety of olives too, for the same reason. I mix it up a bit, but they are usually variations of the same theme.

This time, there were only three of us wining, so I paired it down a bit. The only real difference for this trip, was that I made a curried Thai chicken salad to spread on our crackers too.

Thai Curry Chicken Salad

I used up my leftover Middle Eastern chicken Middle Eastern Chicken With Tomato Sauce and mixed it with a shredded carrot, green onions, and a Thai curry mayonnaise.

1-2 cooked chicken breasts, diced small

1 carrot, shredded

1/3 cup green onions, sliced very thin

1-1 1/2 cups mayonnaise

1-2 TBSP lime balsamic vinegar or lime juice

1-2 TBSP coconut balsamic vinegar, optional

1-2 tsp grated orange peel

2 tsp curry – I used Thai Red curry

1/2 tsp cayenne pepper, or to taste

Combine the chicken, carrot and green onions.

Mix the mayonnaise, vinegars and seasonings together and mix well. Add as much as needed to the chicken mix and gently fold in. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

I used the chicken curry as a spread for crackers, but you can make it into a sandwich as well, and if you like, you can top it with a bit of jalapeno Jack cheese and avocado and toast or grill it to make a spicy chicken melt. You can also add a scoop to an avocado or a tomato for a small salad. However you decide to serve it, I think you are really going to like it. It is quick and easy-peasy and very tasty too.

Have a great day and make everyday great. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
