    This chicken tandoori dish came with fenugreek leaf that I chopped up and added to the salad.
  • Add some dried cherries and candied walnuts plus a couple of tablespoons of mayonnaise. Adjust the amount of mayo depending on how you like your chicken salad.
  • Season with salt and pepper and stir carefully to combine all the ingredients. Taste and adjust with extra sauce and/or salt & pepper.
  • You can serve it right away or let it sit for a while in the refrigerator so the flavors meld together. Serve it on any bread you like or a fresh bed of greens.
