Apple Curry Chicken Salad

I knew it had been awhile since I posted a recipe but I didn't realize I had been since then end of January, my apologies faithful followers (all four of you.) I have posted lots of soups and cold weather type of food but since spring is almost here I thought I would post something a little lighter and suitable for those hot days ahead. So maybe this will persuade winter to officially go away because I am completely over it and the first official day of spring is just a few days away :)

I really like curry but I love this chicken salad. I think the combination with apples, dried cranberries and almonds just makes it near perfect. I might also be really partial to it because the smell of curry always reminds me of my honeymoon. I think they served some type of curry on the buffet everyday. Anyways, enough rambling. Here it is!
