Paleo Mango Coconut Curried Chicken Salad Recipe
"The creaminess to this chicken salad recipe is simply from coconut cream. It goes so well with the curry flavor! I’ve always loved curried chicken salads. There’s something about the flavor of curry powder that just goes so well with chicken. But it also needs a touch of sweetness, which the mangoes and blueberries in this recipe provides. And for the crunch, I added in some pumpkin seeds and shredded coconut. The slight crunch that the pumpkin seeds add is really necessary!"
