- If your mango chutney has large chunks in it, be sure to give it a good chop.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, mango chutney, curry powder and lime juice until creamy and well blended.
- In a large bowl, toss together the diced chicken, celery, green onions, apple, raisins, and nuts if using.

Leave out the raisins if you don't like them. Add some halved grapes if you prefer. I'm completely satisfied with a 2/3-cup serving of this salad, especially when I eat it on a bed of greens with other veggies and fruits. If you feel like you want a bigger portion, just adjust your Points accordingly.
