Made this as part of PAC Spring 2008. It is quite good but I couldn't give it the full five stars because of changes I felt I had to make. I made per directions and then did a taste test. The curry flavor was non-existent and I ended up with more than 6 times the amount listed to get that Curried Chicken Salad flavor I know and adore. I used green onions rather than "regular" as from experience I have found them to be less harsh. All in all though, with the changes I made, this is a wonderful appetizer that I and my kids loved and I will probably add this to the menu for my wedding reception. Thanks lmkga! :-)
