Start with about 4 cups of cooked chicken in a mixing bowl.

Chop celery thinly and add to the chicken.

Finely dice half of a small red onion and add it to the bowl, ensuring no big chunks remain.

Chop about 1/3 cup of a red Macintosh apple and add it to the mixture for sweetness and crunch.

Chop and add about 1/2 cup of roasted cashews to the bowl.

Add the juice of half a lime to brighten the flavors.

Stir in 2 teaspoons of curry powder, along with salt and black pepper to taste.

Instead of mayonnaise, add about 1/2 cup of Greek yogurt to the mixture and mix until combined, ensuring it’s not overly wet.

Prepare bib lettuce leaves as cups for serving the chicken salad.

Fill each bib lettuce cup with the curried chicken salad mixture.

Chop fresh cilantro and sprinkle it over the filled lettuce cups.

Optionally, squeeze a little lime juice on top before serving.
