This is not your standard chicken salad. It has nuts, it has interesting spice. AND you still get the delicious creamy texture, crunch and yum that you love about the classic chicken salad. 

The curry powder contains turmeric which has been found to have a profound effect on skin health. Its antioxidant properties have been used to treat skin issues from acne to allergic reactions. While you will have to add more turmeric to your diet to gain all of these benefits, this recipe is a great start. 

The coconut oil adds beneficial medium chain triglycerides that give your body good fats to make healthy plump new cells.
