Curried Chicken & Mango Salad

Directions

  1. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, curry powder, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper until smooth. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  2. Prepare the salad ingredients: Dice the cooked chicken, mango, bell pepper, cucumber, and celery. Finely chop the red onion and herbs.
  3. Combine salad: In a large bowl, gently toss the chicken, mango, vegetables, and herbs together. If using nuts, add them now for extra crunch.
  4. Add dressing: Pour the curry dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated. Be careful not to mash the mango pieces.
  5. Chill (optional): Refrigerate for 15–30 minutes to let the flavors meld, or serve immediately for a fresher taste.
  6. Serve: Garnish with extra cilantro and a few whole cashews for presentation.
