This is a wonderfully simple chicken curry salad that is perfect to serve in a sandwich or with a baked potato for lunch. The honey and the brown mustard add some extra depth and the spices provide some good kick. Do add some slivered almonds and raisins - they lift up this entire dish.

If you choose to serve this in a sandwich, then some good quality sour dough bread would be nice. We like to grill slices on a cast iron pan in some butter, then plate the sandwich with ruccola salad and a generous amount of this chicken curry salad. Perfect for a special lunch, perhaps with a light beer.
