Apple Mango Chicken Salad
A refreshing Caribbean-style chicken salad with tropical mango, crisp apple, and a hint of curry; perfect for sandwiches or a light, flavorful meal.
With most things I prepare I like to bring a bit of the “island” into it, so the addition of the ripe mango and pinch of curry powder, was only natural.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mango cubed
- 1/2 cup apple cubed
- 3 cups cooked chicken shredded
- 1/2 cup celery diced
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 3/4 cup mayonnaise
- 3/4 teaspoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- pinch curry powder
- pinch salt
- pinch black pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine mango and apple. Stir in lemon juice to prevent discoloration.
- Add shredded chicken, celery, and red onion.
- Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, curry powder, salt, and pepper until evenly mixed.
- Chill for about 30 minutes to meld flavors.
- Serve on bread, lettuce wraps, or as a standalone salad.
Notes
Try to get a mango that’s about 90% ripe, so it’s firm and will be easy to dice and handle in general, without falling apart. If you don’t have a red onion, any sweet or mild onion will work. The idea is not to have karate breath after eating this.
