Curried Chicken Salad

I love food and I love eating food that loves me back. Curry is a wonderful spice that not only tastes great, it’s extremely beneficial to consume on a regular basis. It’s anti-inflammatory so it helps with aches and pains as well as overall health. Inflammation is considered to be the root of all disease. Control inflammation and we are more likely able to prevent disease. It has been shown to kill cancer cells. It can also aid in digestion by promoting increased stomach acid secretion.

This simple recipe is great for lunches, at a party on top of (gluten-free) crackers or for a road trip. Packed full of nutrients, protein and, best of all, flavor. It is a regular in my home and I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
