I had some girlfriends over and this is what I served. In my opinion, this is the perfect summer lunch. Delicious fresh fruit and creamy chicken salad. The girls and I gave this a resounding 5-stars. It went well with our Pina Coladas too :)

Now this really did it for me. Chicken salad surrounded by beautiful summer fruits. Wonderful presentation. The chicken salad has a great flavor. I think it is the curry that makes it so good. Very classy and elegant. Thanks.
