Coconut Curry Chicken Salad

Feast your eyes on this healthy coconut curry chicken salad! It’s dairy-free, mayo-free, full of spices and even includes a dose of hidden veggies. It’s an awesome lunch, especially in the heat of summer!

This chicken salad gets its creaminess from coconut milk and cooked sweet potato (that’s the hidden vegetable), and once pureed, this creates the base for the salad. Other flavors in the mix include fresh lime juice, cilantro, curry powder, turmeric and more. It’s bursting with flavor and bright yellow color too (hello, turmeric!).

Enjoy this chicken salad over greens, in a lettuce wrap or grain-free wrap, with sliced veggies, plantain chips or whatever else your heart desires.

Cheers!
