Make this seasonal salad an eye-catching grab-and-go item by layering all the ingredients in a Mason jar. Swap out the jar for a clear plastic container if customers are taking the salad to a patio or picnic.
Ingredients
1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup instant brown rice
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chutney
2 tsp. curry powder
1/3 cup sliced celery
2 tbsp. diced red onion
1/4 cup raisins
2 2/3 cup watermelon strips (no longer than 2 ½ inches)
1 cup thin strips peeled jicama (no longer than 2 ½ inches)
4 tbsp. cashews, chopped
4 pint-size wide-mouth Mason jars
Shredded romaine lettuce
Steps
Place chicken breasts in medium saucepan, cover with water and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat and simmer until cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove from water and let cool. Dice or shred chicken.
Cook rice according to package directions. Refrigerate to cool.
In medium bowl, blend mayonnaise, chutney and curry until thoroughly mixed. Add chicken, celery, onion and raisins; mix well and refrigerate.
