Chicken salad is one of those dishes thats almost always in my fridge.

And with just four ingredients and five minutes of prep time, its pretty hard to beat.

I like to shred the chicken by hand, but you could also dice it.

From there, its just a matter of mixing in mayo, curry powder, and lemon juice.

Season with salt and pepper then taste, adjusting seasonings as necessary.
