This was a delicious twist on the same old same old chicken salad. The lime zest and lime juice really elevated it and the pineapple was a nice foil to the curry, chutney and scallions.

Chicken salad is a pretty stereotypical ladies who lunch type of food but no reason that men and children wouldn't also enjoy.
