Curried Cranberry Chicken Salad

This recipe is a bit different from traditional chicken/turkey salad recipes because of the addition of lime juice and curry powder. The combination of these two flavors works
beautifully with the sweet apple chunks and dried cranberries. Serve this salad alone or with a green salad, and maybe a tasty bread for a simple meal. Blessings...

Recipe:

3/4 cup low-fat mayonnaise
2 teaspoons lime juice
3/4 teaspoon curry powder
2 cups cubed cooked chicken or turkey
2 cups diced apple
1/3 cup sweetened dried cranberries
3/4 cup thinly sliced celery
1/4 cup chopped pecans, lightly toasted
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion

1. In a large bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice and curry powder.
2. Stir in all of the remaining ingredients. Cover and chill. This salad is best served within 8 hours.
