Ingredients: 2 cups cooked chicken breast, diced. 1 cup kale leaves, chopped. 1/2 cup cashews, chopped. 1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced. 1/4 cup cucumber, diced. 2 tablespoons red onion, finely chopped. 1/4 cup Greek yogurt. 2 tablespoons mayonnaise. 1 tablespoon honey. 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard. Salt and pepper to taste. 4 large kale leaves for wraps. 1/4 cup shredded carrots for garnish. 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves for garnish.

Instructions: In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken, chopped kale, cashews, red bell pepper, cucumber, and red onion.

Place a generous scoop of the cashew chicken salad in the center of each kale leaf. Top with shredded carrots and fresh cilantro leaves for added flavor and color. Fold in the sides of the kale leaf and then roll it up, securing it with toothpicks if needed. Serve your Cashew Chicken Salad and Kale Wraps immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
