Chicken and Egg Salad Tower with Curry Greek Yoghurt Dressing

I use a combo of Greek yoghurt and crème fraîche to make the dressing because I just love the creamy tangy Greek yoghurt. You can use mayonnaise if you like. Curry powder is a wonderful spice blend for adding a depth of flavour to food. Use as much or as little as you like. The chicken and egg salad is delicious as it is or in a sandwich or pita pocket. It's perfect for a quick and healthy lunch.

Salad	Curry Greek Yoghurt Dressing
5 Medium eggs, hard boiled and diced 200 g Chicken breast, baked and cut in cubes (or leftover roasted chicken) 1/2 tbsp Olive oil 150 g Carrot, peeled and diced 150 g Sweet corn 3 Cherry radish, thinly sliced	100 g Full fat Greek yoghurt 100 g Crème fraîche (or sour cream) 2-3 tsp Curry powder 1 tbsp Freshly squeezed lemon juice Salt and pepper to taste

Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Add eggs and simmer for 8 minutes for hard-boiled eggs. Plunge the eggs into cold water to stop the egg from cooking any further. Peel and chop the eggs. Place them in a large bowl.
Rub olive oil on the chicken breast and generously sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place chicken breast in an oven dish and bake for 30 minutes. Remove and allow it to rest and cool for 10 minutes. Reserve the juice. Cut the chicken into small cubes.
In a medium bowl, combine Greek yoghurt, crème fraiche, curry powder, lemon juice, juice from the roasted chicken, salt and pepper.
Add diced carrots, sweet corn, and chicken to the chopped eggs in the bowl. Add in prepared curry yoghurt and stir to combine well. Taste the salad and adjust the seasoning.
Place a salad ring in a serving dish. Surround the the salad ring with sliced cherry radishes. Spoon the salad into the ring. Lift off the ring gently. Granish with the fresh herbs.

New Classic r 10/6/21 23:03: I was wondering how you got such a perfect tower. My tower would like the Leaning Tower of Pisa. This would make a great filling for deviled eggs.
Evelyne CulturEatz 11/6/21 00:37: Why have I never thought of adding chicken to egg salad. Looks delicious. I love the circle of radishes around the base.
Yvonne @ Fiction Books Reviews 11/6/21 07:25: Hi Angie,

This dish looks and sounds amazing. I am not a huge 'eggy' person, but I do love them hard-boiled, so it is great to discover an unusual way to try them.

Curry dip is exactly my kind of dressing as I like spicy, and I am about the only person I know who likes radishes and I can't understand people's aversion to them.

As you can tell, I like strong flavours, so this one ticks all the boxes for me, thanks for sharing! :)
Karen (Back Road Journal) 13/6/21 14:41: Your chicken salad is so different from any I have had and certainly one I will enjoy trying.
Noob Cook 13/6/21 15:25: What a creative and pretty salad. I can eat this as a meal!
Eva Taylor 14/6/21 13:03: I haven’t had egg salad in a few years and as coincidence, my husband made egg salad for lunch last week! I love the combination of chicken and egg salad, looks and sounds delicious.

mjskit 15/6/21 04:35: I can see that I have missed a lot of nice dishes that are just perfect for us right now. We love egg salad and chicken salad so this combined chicken egg salad sounds delicious. Thanks for another idea for a nice summer meal.
tigerfish 17/6/21 21:17: I am also a fan of Greek yogurt. Absolutely love the chicken and egg tower - it's my kind of lunch.
babYpose 4/10/21 17:30: Curry powder to add on for dressing sounds different surely good. Must try. Look dilicious as always.
