This tasty chicken salad is delicious served with a selection of peppery salad leaves but it’s also ideal to pile into hot baked potatoes or use as a chunky sandwich filling. Use a medium tikka or korma curry paste and if you don’t have any mango chutney, add a touch of sweetness with a handful of raisins or some finely chopped dried apricots. For a less calorific dressing replace half the mayonnaise with natural yoghurt or reduced fat crème fraiche
