curried chicken salad

There's a place here in Nashville that serves a delicious curried chicken salad among other things. It's called the Calypso Cafe. 

http://www.calypsocafe.com/home.htm  A plate of their tropical chicken salad with spiced sweet potatoes and Cuban black beans on the side makes for a delicious lunch. I find that my preference in a chicken salad is on the sweeter side, whereas my hubs will only eat a salad that is savory.  That's the exact reason this chicken salad is perfect to serve to some girlfriends for lunch or downsize the recipe and make it just for yourself.  Who knows---your husband may be different than mine and love it.
