Made yesterday for supper. Didn't have time for it to sit overnight since it was for that day, but it did have about 8 hours in the fridge before supper. I made some changes, based on what we had on hand, and preference. I subbed in grated carrots instead of the cucumbers because we didn't have any, added a sprinkling of salt and pepper as I was cooking the chicken, and on the top layer of salad. Added a layer of cheese because I knew my husband would add cheese anyway, and we skipped the croutons because we didn't have any. Served with mini pita breads as the main course. I really liked it. Simple and yummy supper. Would be great to take to a picnic. The curry adds a nice flavor, but isn't overwhelming. I am considering making this again for a salad luncheon coming up. Layers of hardboiled egg, and maybe some bacon wouldn't hurt it either, but it was good as is. Thanks for the recipe!
