This delicious and easy chicken salad is a far cry from the standard mayonnaise-based concoction. Here, the few ingredients, including spicy mango chutney, are bound together with Greek yogurt, which lightens it all up and gives it a tang brought out even more by a little lemon juice. It is a grown-up chicken salad that would be welcome in a child’s lunch box.

Try adding curry.......cayenne might do the trick, but curry is good! Adds some zip.

Morna

Yes to the curry addition! I also add either diced apple or halved seedless grapes for extra flavor.

Made to recipe proportions using rotisserie turkey breast and Brooklyn Delhi's "spicy mango chutney with kashmiri chili" -- so no additional flavor enhancements needed. Served on sourdough with lettuce leaves and Ba-Tampte half-sours on the side.

Dave The Wave

Made this last night and my wife say it was the best ever. The mango chutney I found had ginger and paprika in it which added a subtle flare. Chopped red bell pepper was also a nice add-in.
