Seasonal Variations: For a seasonal change of pace, use Ginger Peach Chutney in summer and Apple Chutney in autumn. For added flavor, add 2 Tbs. chopped fresh rosemary to the Apple Chutney.

Egg and Chutney Salad: As a vegetarian alternative, eliminate the celery, raisins, and almonds. Reduce the above dressing by half and add it to 8 chopped hard boiled eggs.
