“I had lunch with my mom at California Pizza Kitchen, and we ordered a Moroccan Chicken Salad. I loved the curry-spiced chicken and the fresh, crisp greens. Later that night I was inspired to create this recipe,” says Eleanor. “I wanted to include lots of fruits and veggies, too, because they’re good for you, and sometimes sweeter than candy. Accompany your meal with raita, organic salad greens, or crudités, and Taste of the Tropics Fruit Bowl.”
