Yummy Summer Chicken Salad

Submitted by chefamy

"This is a recipe that i have made for the last few summers - I've had it in my cookbook for so long i don't remember where it came from - I think it might be from SFI - they also suggest trying it with Greek yogurt and leaving out the nuts if you want to reduce calories or replacing the chicken and mango with cooked prawns and ripe peaches - enjoy!"

As much as I'm learning to include avocado in some things, I can't bring myself to include slices in my salads ~ So that was omitted, but other than that, I followed the recipe step by step! Loved the combo of pineapple, mango & curry! Thanks for sharing! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's Pick-A-Chef]
