Very good. I loved the curry-mayo dressing with the salad ingredients made special by the addition of peanuts. I made the recipe as directed except for substituting shredded carrots (1 1/4 cups. DH, who doesn't care for the taste of curry loved the salad. The next day, the dressing over powered the salad ingredients. I think the dressing is a real treasure and will put it in my "Book of Tricks". Thanks RSC Chef !

I made this for me to take to lunch this week. It was very good and I liked the unique combination of ingredients. The flavor of the dressing definitely had a yummy Asian flair to it. I let it refrigerate over night, like you suggested and believe that is the best thing to do. I will double it next time so my husband can try it--I hogged it all for myself. Good luck in the contest.

Very delicious and tasty with a nice amount of curry powder. It gave it an exotic flavor without overpowering the other ingredients. There were no leftovers!!! Good luck in the contest!

This is really delicious!! I have never had crab salad like this before. This is the first time I have ever made anything with Curry Powder. I like it!! I will definitely make this recipe again. Definitely 5 stars.

Well, this was a very pleasant warm day supper. It had as nice little bite and the peanuts added a very nice crunch. I ate half for supper and left half in the fridge to take for lunch tomorrow.I made it exactly as instructed and was very pleased with the results, a nice fresh taste for summer. Well thought out compatable ingredients. I'm sure the lunch portion for tomorrow will be even better, I was only able to leave it in the fridge for 2 hours tonight. I will certainly be making this again, thanks for sharing and good luck!!
