This curried mango chicken salad has three of my favorite things in it! Mangos, grapes & Cashews!
Fun Fact: My American friends laugh when I say cashew nuts, they say it sounds like I’m sneezing…! 🤦♀️
The pronunciation is so different and they put the emphasis on the long A and I guess Brits put it on the C! See if you notice it next time you say it, and let us know!
I have always loved curried chicken salad – Something to do with the flavor combination of the curry and the grapes mainly. It just gets me every time! The addition of the crunchy cashew nuts & the sweet mango just takes it up a notch and makes sure all flavor profiles & textures are experienced in each bite!
This curried mango chicken salad is also elevated with the use of our homemade avocado oil mayo! This makes sure there are no ingredients that are not 100% healthy approved in this recipe! We also love to bake/roast our chicken as opposed to poaching it as we think it gives a juicier outcome!
This salad is perfect served simply over a bed of greens or dressed up on some grain bread or on a croissant for a Brunch-y Lunch. Also works wonderfully as a picnic item on a hot summers day!

- Remove chicken breasts and let rest for 5 minutes and then pull apart with forks.
- Add the pulled chicken to the rest of the mixture and mix to combine thoroughly.
