That sounds really good. I make something similar with dried cherries. My local Publix store used to make what they called Bombay chicken salad when they had too many roasted chickens on hand. They discontinued it but your recipe is really close. Try it everybody.

Re: cold curry pasta chicken salad

I am so glad you posted this......honestly!! Every so often I'll see this in the Deli case at a local grocery chain store, and I'll just get a small container for me. DH doesn't care for it. I think they have chopped cashews in theirs. The chopped nuts seemed softer to me than any other nut type, especially almonds. Don't know why I didn't figure out how to make it myself before. Probably because I'd eat the whole darn thing instead of a small plastic container of it.

Can't wait to try this recipe! Thanks again!!
