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.

- 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.

It looks pretty & tasty.

PS I had the same problem commenting on some places today like you, but when I turned the enhanced tracking protection OFF (it is that little shield in the address box above) I could comment in Firefox.
...this is something to try, some I will have radishes ready in the garden.
Sounds and looks great. Excellent food photography.
Such a delicious and tangy twist and combination of egg and chicken salads!
I've done plenty of chicken salads, plenty of egg salads, but have never done a combo - I would imagine it is fantastic! I love your dressing and what a beautiful presentation as well. Excellent as always Angie!
My flavors! I will definitely try!
Beautiful presentation, love egg salad. Looks so yummy.
I would like to get it in pita bread :-)
A rich proposal with a beautiful presentation.
Cheers!
greek yogurt combine with creme...uh yummy...i can imagine how soft they are in my mouth. Your dish is very tasteful ^^
That definitely deserves a nice bread
Really nice combination of flavours and textures here! And even though I don't mind mayo every now and then, I opt for yogurt dressing most of the times.
Se ve una ensalada muy rica me gusta como utilizas el rábano. De ley la haré, gracias por la receta. Te mando un beso
I have been craving chicken salad! Your recipe looks so good. I have never once considered adding corn to chicken salad, but it sounds so interesting. Your presentation, as usual, is phenomenal. Yet another recipe for me to try. Thanks, Angie!
That looks nice, fond of radish.
Bellissima presentazione, un'insalata di pollo deliziosa!!!
Beautiful presentation! I absolutely love it! Egg salad tower looks beautiful in the dark blue plate
It definitely looks amazingly tasty Angie !

Sound good! Egg and yogurt increase its nutritious and flavour. I like this salad Tower.
Delicious and beautiful!!!....I must try it!!.......Abrazotes, Marcela
Slurp! :-) This looks really excellent. Love the curry and the radish garnish.
Angie, My wife loves egg salad and I love chicken salad. I never thought about combining the two... Thanks for the recipe! Take Care, Big Daddy Dave
Looks so deliciuos, I am going to try your receipe for sure! :)

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.
Why have I never thought of adding chicken to egg salad. Looks delicious. I love the circle of radishes around the base.
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! :)
Your chicken salad is so different from any I have had and certainly one I will enjoy trying.
What a creative and pretty salad. I can eat this as a meal!
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.

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.
I am also a fan of Greek yogurt. Absolutely love the chicken and egg tower - it's my kind of lunch.
Curry powder to add on for dressing sounds different surely good. Must try. Look dilicious as always.
