Fiery Red Curry Chicken Salad

While adding curry powder to chicken salad is nothing new, frying curry paste and mixing it into yogurt (instead of mayonnaise) to form the base of this bright, aromatic spin feels like a revelation. Red curry paste adds deep flavors of chili peppers, lemongrass, makrut lime, and shallots. Store-bought rotisserie chicken makes this meal come together fast. And the combination of fresh vegetables like celery and herbs provides a crisp, refreshing contrast to the bold spiciness of the curry paste. This is especially satisfying in the summer, when you’re looking to lean on recipes requiring minimal prep and stovetop cooking. Here we serve it on crunchy lettuce, but it’s equally delicious in wraps and sandwiches.
