  1. I made this for lunch and it was colorful and delicious.  Next time I will decrease however the curry powder by at least half, for personal preference, also rather than greek yogurt, I will use regular zero fat for a more creamy consistency.  I also needed a hint of sweetness in order to counter the intense curry and lime so I used Stevia.  Personally I find this recipe to be amazing!  You get a lot of vegetables, it is colorful and most of all … healthy.  I also used frozen mango as suggested and it worked out beautifully.

  9. I love the idea of this in lettuce wraps! Curried chicken salad is my favorite but I’ve never thought to add mango. Can’t wait to give it a try!
