Curried Chicken Salad

I think this is the right one.  It's from a south beach cookbook, but we won't hold that against it.

1.5 c yoghurt
1 T curry powder
1/2 t ground ginger
1.5 lb chicken breast, cooked and cut into 1/2 inch cubes
3 celery stalks, diced
1/2 small red onion, diced
1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro

Whist together yoghurt, curry powder, ginger in large bowl.  Stir in chicken, celery, onion, and cilantro.  Season with salt and pepper.  Serve at room temp or refrigerate for an hour.

4 servings.

Turkey-Spinach not-Sliders

Again from Bon Appetit, July 2013, pg 38.

More or less followed the recipe.  Scallions, spinach, garlic, etc.  Did burgers on the grill.  They were gigantic patties (I used a lot of spinach), so 4 burgers would have been better than 3.

Sambal Chicken not-skewers

Bon appetit, July 2013, pg 69.  Also epicurious.

http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Sambal-Chicken-Skewers-51175290

These were supposed to be skewers, but we baked them instead.  And we used chili garlic paste instead of sambal oelek.  It had a good heat but wasn't super spicy.  Served with a salad.  This was a long time ago so I don't remember much else.  But it was pretty tasty.

Carne Asada Tacos

Mmm tacos.  Got the carne from the carniceria, guacamole from Steven and Laura.  Delicious tortillas and salsas.  Mmm tequila.

Salmon Burgers

Salmon burgers with grilled veggies. Asparagus, sweet potatoes, zucchini, peppers.  That might have been all.  Tasty.
