Chicken Salad w/ Curry and Grapes and Yoghurt on Flatbread


In appreciation of this springlike day w/ warm sun and melting snow I ate lunch on the patio today.

The chicken salad included red grapes and green onions and sweet red bell pepper seasoned with garlic, curry powder and some heat. I used half mayonaisse and half unsweetened plain yoghurt as the moistening agent. A tiny bit of honey. I incorporated chopped salad greens( eg., spring mix)into the chicken salad rather than using it as a bed.

I ate it on torn pieces of pita or flat bread that I made with frozen whole wheat dough that I rolled out thin, pricked w/ a fork and baked.

You could do this of course with any fowl - chicken, turkey, pheasant or grouse. When you are eating on the patio it is outdoor food.

I had a glass of wine. My dog chased squirrels.The snow diminished. It was a window of sensory opportunity . Bring it on.
