Ingredient Benefits

Avocado Oil Mayonnaise
Using avocado oil instead of traditional oils makes this mayo a healthier choice. It’s rich in heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and antioxidants that support skin, heart, and brain health. My go to mayonnaise is from Hunter and Gather .

Greek Yogurt
A creamy, protein-packed alternative to traditional mayo, Greek yogurt also brings gut-friendly probiotics and calcium. It helps lighten the dish while still delivering satisfying texture and richness.

Curry Powder
A warming blend of spices like turmeric, coriander, and cumin, curry powder offers anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. It adds depth and a gentle kick to the salad.

Chicken (Pre-Cooked & Cold)
A lean source of high-quality protein, chicken helps support muscle repair, immune function, and satiety. Using it cold makes this dish quick to throw together and perfect for meal prepping.

Dried Apricots
These chewy gems add a natural sweetness and are a great source of dietary fiber, iron, and antioxidants like beta-carotene. They help balance the savory notes with a hint of fruity contrast.

Celery
Crunchy and refreshing, celery is low in calories and high in water, making it hydrating and digestion-friendly. It also brings a nice texture contrast and subtle earthiness to the salad.
