This salad is fresh and appealing with several distinct flavors that meld together beautifully. The apple and celery add a nice crunch and there is a mild spicy kick with the addition of curry powder. For guests who enjoy curry, I would definitely entertain with this dish. It is filling, delicious and it presents well. This recipe is adapted from Good Housekeeping light and healthy recipes (2007).

Time 35m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
6 tablespoons low-fat yogurt (1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp)
2 tablespoons low-fat mayonnaise
2 tablespoons salsa
1 tablespoon lime juice, freshly squeezed
1 teaspoon curry powder
1 mango, ripe (substitute mandarin orange slices, if desired)
1 apple, a small Fiji apple (if you would like more tang, use a less-sweet apple such as Granny Smith)
1 stalk celery, medium sized
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese
6 -8 sprigs cilantro
1 cup greens (field greens, about two small handfuls)

Steps:

  • Cook the chicken breast in an oven preheated to 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes (until no longer pink in the center).
  • As the chicken is baking, combine the yogurt, mayonnaise, salsa, lime juice and curry powder in a medium bowl. Stir to combine.
  • Peel and de-seed the mango then chop into half-inch chunks (I haven't tried this salad with mandarin orange slices, but I think they would make a nice substitution if mango is unavailable).
  • Remove the apple's core and chop into one-inch chunks. Chop the celery into 1/4-1/2 inch chunks. Cut the fresh mozzarella into one-inch chunks.
  • Add the mango, apple, celery and mozzarella to the bowl. Toss to combine.
  • Finely chop the cilantro. Add the cilantro and field greens to the bowl and stir to combine.
  • Shred the cooked chicken after it has cooled (cutting the chicken into small cubes would work as well, but shredded chicken adds a nice texture to the dish). Add to the bowl and toss.
  • Serves four as a small dish or serves two as a large dish.
