curried chicken salad

 

One of the most common topics of conversation in the workplace is food. I can talk about food all day long, I love shopping for it, I love making it, and I especially love eating it.  Chicken salad is a top choice for lunch here in the South, which led some of us to an extensive discussion of  chicken salad one day. You'll be surprised how long my colleagues and I can carry on a conversation about this one topic. There is even a chicken salad chick around these parts that serve up 14 different types of chicken salads! To my surprise, amongst the 14 varieties, the chick is missing one of my favorites: curried chicken salad!
