Light Curry Chicken Salad

This is a delicious and easy recipe to keep in your fridge for the week. I like to prepare this chicken salad at the beginning of the week, and have something to keep in the fridge at work to enjoy for lunch. Throw it in a wrap, on top of a salad, or on high fiber crackers. The possibilities are endless!
