The cilantro gives this chicken salad a good flavor, but the curry is overpowering. I tried cutting the curry back by 1/2, and that did seem to help. You may want to cut it even more, starting with about 3/4 tsp and then increasing until you achieve the strengh you want.

I was pointed to this recipe by my daughter, and boy was she right on. This is a great and an easy recipe. I made it exactly as is since I had all the ingredients on hand. I agree with TeacherLaLa that a little something sweet would be a great addition, but not absolutely needed. I get to take the leftovers to work for lunch. Yea! Thanks for posting this recipe Hey Jude.

I love curry, so I made this with the full 2 tsps of curry powder and liked it fine. I added white raisins & chopped walnuts and stuffed it into pita bread. It was great!

I made this and served it lettuce wraps style. I used fresh mangoes and cashews for the toppings. I thought it needed something sweet- hence the mangoes! It was so very yummy! A keeper in my book.

i make almost this exact same salad, but also add some celery and yellow raisins, like another reviewer. the only big difference for me, is that i use almost all plain yogurt, with a small spoon of mayo in place of the mayo, as it way cuts down on all the bad stuff from the mayo, but tastes virtually the same!
