Elana's South Sea Chicken Salad

I normally cannot stand chicken salad, tuna salad, or anything of a wet salad nature. Elana's recipe for her curry chicken salad is the one exception. It is light, tangy, and a perfect lunch for those on a diet. You can also make it ahead and enjoy all week. Seriously yum...

Ingredients:
  • 3 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded
  • 2 mangoes, cubed
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 3 scallions, minced
  • 1 red onion, finely chopped
  • 1 head romaine lettuce, shredded
  • 1/4 cup cashews, roughly chopped
  • 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
  • 1/2 cup nonfat mayo
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tsp curry powder
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • S & P
Directions:
  • In a small bowl mix together the yogurt, mayo, olive oil curry powder, cumin and s&p
  • In a big mixing bowl combine rest of ingredients.
  • Pour dressing over and stir.
  • Serve over salad or in sandwich form.
