I loved this stuff. Ate it on toasted Recipe #371065 (which has a hint of lemon in it) topped with rocket. I did use 1/2 mayo and 1/2 yogurt which worked wonderfully and significantly decreased calories and fat. I am not a curry fan and this spice it great in here. So delicious. Thanks for a winner of a recipe. Made for ZWT5, Aus/NZ

This is absolutely delicious! I was worried about how I would like the curry and soy sauce in chicken salad, but it compliments the flavors wonderfully! I seem to be out of coconut so didn't add, otherwise made exactly. I would say I might have added a few more grages and pineapple chuncks, but that's ok! I loved this salad, and I will be making this often! Made for Every Day is a Holiday Tag
