This week I’m participating in the United Way Hunger Challenge and for lunch I prepared this salad for my husband and I. Not only is this salad healthy, it is quite inexpensive to make. One boneless chicken breast will make enough chicken salad for 4 servings. Scooped and served on a bed of couscous and lettuce, this salad has become a favorite around here. Here is my version of this popular recipe. Enjoy!
Chicken Curry Salad With Couscous
Inspired by Starbucks Chicken Curry With Couscous Salad (discontinued)
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 boneless chicken breast (1 lb) , cooked and chopped into small pieces * I use a food processor
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup almonds, chopped
1/3 cup celery, chopped
2 tablespoons curry powder
1/4 cup mayonnaise
pinch of salt and pepper to taste
2 cups cooked couscous
1 head of green leaf lettuce, washed, dried, and torn into pieces
Directions:
Combine chicken, raisins, almonds, celery, mayonnaise, curry powder until, salt, and pepper until completely mixed. Place 1-2 cups of the torn lettuce on a plate and add 1/2 cup cooked couscous on top of it. Finish it off with 1/2 cup of chicken curry salad mixture. Enjoy!

Another fabulous looking recipe! Thank you Alice!
Ooh this looks fabulous!!
Oh my! This looks delish. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to get this salad from my local Starbucks locations before they discontinued it! So to me this is, “Alice’s Curry Chicken Salad.” And knowing me, I’ll try this right away and let you know how awesome it is!
This looks delicious and like such a great idea! I think I would like to try it on tabbouleh too.
Oh yeah!!!! I loved this too, but didn’t have much due to cost.
Thank you SO MUCH Alice!!!!!!! I will be making this!
I had this from Starbucks before and I think yours is more delish. The photo speaks for itself.
Found your blog last night through PW’s site & love your blogging style! This salad looks great .. I’m going to have to try this one out for sure!
Looking forward to following you!

Your recipe looks great! Love that you’re participating in the United Way Hunger Challenge… I look forward to reading all about it!
It’s back! At least it is at my Starbucks in Philadelphia. But not the same as the old version (which I had in Seattle), where it included almost equal parts chicken and mango. Anyhow, the new version has no mango but has added quinoa. And has way more couscous & quinoa than chicken. But — an even better idea to make it myself! Thanks!!
Last night, I made your recipe for the second time… So simple and delicious! I made a sandwich out of it for me today for lunch! I love all your posts!
