Just another fabulous recipe that starts with a store-bought rotisserie chicken.  Cubes of the tender chicken are first tossed together with buttery walnut pieces, dried apricots, prunes, diced apple, roasted carrots and last but not least, a mélange of distinct spices.  (Ground cumin, cardamon, curry powder and golden turmeric to be exact…) The creamy dressing that binds the salad together is protein-packed Green yogurt (I actually used creme fraiche just because I had it on hand…) but either way, the combo of textures and rich flavors here makes for a delectable chicken salad.  Try serving this salad over a bed of peppery watercress or even baby arugula.
