Chicken Curry Salad

With those long summer days, I always get a bit hungry again late in the evening....so tonight I had some knekkebrød (crisp bread) with the last of the Chicken Curry Salad I made earlier this week with leftover chicken ( I made Jamie Oliver's Lemon Stuffed Chicken ..... it was delicious, but two whole chickens were just too much for three persons! ), with a glass of red wine. Yum!

Chicken Curry Salad

Ingredients:
3 dl of sour cream (light/diet)
150 gr of mayonnaise (light/diet)
5 tsp of curry
1 red pepper
300 gr of corn
4 spring onions, chopped
leftover roasted chicken, as much as you like ( I used nearly a whole chicken)

1.) Mix the sour cream, mayonnaise and curry to a dressing in a medium sized bowl.
2.) Chop the red pepper and spring onions, and add it together with the corn to the curry dressing
3.) Add the leftover chicken, shredded into smaller pieces.
4.) Stir and serve on baguette, knekkebrød or your preferred type of bread.

Enjoy!

PS: The salad gets better after a day, as the dressing gets a stronger taste of curry.

Summer Salad

It seems that summer is finally here....It's twenty degrees and I am lying outside in the hammock. What more could I want? Well, maybe another portion of this lovely summer salad I made this afternoon...

I just mixed a lot of different goodies that I found in the fridge or one of the cupboards - lettuce, pasta, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red pepper, chick peas, kidney beans, corn, feta cheese, sundried tomatoes and last but not least...some home grown garden cress.

This time I just used a little bit of oil and vinagre as dressing, but this salad is also great with the avocado sour cream dressing I made earlier this week...

Avocado sour cream dressing

Ingredients:
3 dl of sour cream
2 ripe avocados
2 tbsp of lemon juice
2 cloves of garlic, pressed
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of black pepper

1.) Split the avocados, remove the pits, remove the flesh and turn it into a mash with a fork.
2.) Add the sour cream, lemon juice, salt, pepper and pressed garlic.
3.) Stir and enjoy!

Have a great summer!
