Barbados Chicken Salad

.

This is one of our favourite meals in Barbados.   In fact it is the first thing we eat when we get there and signifies the start of our holiday.   I have been trying to re-create the recipe for a couple of years and think I might have just got there with this version.   I can’t though re-create the heat, humidity, or view.   But then you can’t have it all, right?
