Jamie says: I’ve been wanting to make my own chicken salad with yogurt for a long time now. I’ve seen it on the menu at (and ordered it from) a few restaurants, and I always find it so enjoyable for a change. The day has finally come… I made my own chicken salad. But not just any chicken salad. It’s Cumin Chicken Salad with Raisins & Almonds. It was very flavorful and creamy. I liked the bold flavor of the cumin, the crisp fresh parsley, the plump raisins, and crunchy roasted almonds. P.S. Thanks for the new red plate, Kathryn!
