As I've mentioned, I have been craving spice. This kid is going to either love or hate spicy foods! (Hopefully love because that would be much easier for me!) One of my favorite fast lunch places is Roly Poly. We've love this little chain since Lavin's grad school days in Gaineville, FL. They have TONS of different wraps with pretty much any ingredient you can think of. My two favorites are the Basil Cashew Chicken ("basil chicken chicken salad, cashews, spicy Thai sauce, green leaf lettuce, plum tomatoes, avocado and alfalfa sprouts") and the Delhi Chicken ("curried chicken salad, swiss cheese, bacon (no bacon for me), green leaf lettuce, avocado, pineapple, mango chutney and alfalfa sprouts"). Today I decided to sort of make a combination of the two chicken salads and have the best of both worlds. It turned out awesome!! I am very pleased with my creation and think I may be making this often now, at least until I get sick of spice!
- 1 1/2 lb left-over rotisserie chicken, chopped into small pieces
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup plain yogurt
- 5 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon (or more) Sriracha sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 stalk celery, chopped
- 1 firm-ripe mango, peeled, pitted, and chopped
- 1 cup red seedless grapes, halved
- 1/4 dried currants
- 1/2 cup toasted cashews, coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
Whisk together mayonnaise, yogurt, curry, lime juice, honey, ginger, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Add chicken, onion, celery, mango, grapes, currants, cilantro and cashews and stir gently to combine. Serve over greens, or in a wrap! Even better than Roly Poly and cheaper, too!

This may be the perfect chicken salad we've been looking for!!!
I haven't checked out your blog in about a month and I was so excited to see all the new creations! They look so wonderful, your plating skills are fantastic!
By the way, congrats on your little one-speaking of spice, this boy or girl will more than enough spice to your life. The best years of my life are all after having my son!
I have just stumbled upon your blog. I love the clean design and fantastic photos. I am a blogger myself and always thought that design was key and you have certainly captured that! There are so many food blogs out there these days and being different to all the others is key. I have just started www.ifoods.tv which is a website for chefs, foodies and food bloggers to hand out, share recipes, photos and videos. When i was blogging I always thought i should be getting more traffic as my blog was getting lost in the masses of stuff out there so my new site is aimed at giving food bloggers and chefs a bigger platform! Hope you enjoy it and keep up the good writing and design here! I have now bookmarked you so will be regular reader, Cheers!
