Very good salad!! I made with leftover chicken from recipe#244817 and it was perfect for this salad. I loved the taste of the bananas and coconut and liked that it didn't need dressing on it, the chicken salad mixture was moist enough. Was a great, quick salad to start the week with. Made for Newest Zaar.

I almost always have (in the freezer) cooked & diced chicken breast, but for this recipe I had to use some that was shredded! Other than that, though, I followed your recipe & was very satisfied with the results! We've had similar salads before, but I don't think we've ever had one that included coconut and cashews (2 ingredients that we DO enjoy)! Moist & tasty ~ A most satisfying salad! Thanks for posting the recipe! [Tagged & made in Please Review My Recipe]
