Curry-lime chicken salad

Total Time:   18 min   Prep: 18 min  Serves: 6
Difficulty: Easy

Instead of relying on a traditional mayonnaise-based dressing, here Greek yogurt stands in and teams up with curry powder, cilantro, scallions, and lime zest to make an Asian-inspired chicken salad. It’s a cinch to throw together thanks to cooked chopped chicken. Feel free to toss in any leftover chicken that needs to be used up or you can grab a rotisserie chicken from the deli if you’d like. Serve with pita chips, raw veggies or over a bed of mixed greens. The apple adds both sweetness and crunch. When in season, swap a ripe but firm chopped mango for the apple if desired.
