  2. I throw in a couple chicken breasts, a few stalks of chopped celery, a few handfuls of chopped walnuts, chopped red peppers (if I have them on hand), 1/2-3/4 of a chopped granny smith apple, and a large handful of craisins. Very specific, I know :)

    Here's the original sauce recipe:
    1/2 c. mayo
    1/2 c. plain yogurt
    4 t. curry
    1 t. ginger
    1 T lime juice
    1 t honey
    S&P to taste

    Nowadays, I just scoop in some mayo and yogurt, and then dump in some curry, lime or lemon juice and S&P to taste. But you probably already know I'm not too particular about measurements (unless I"m baking!).
