Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Free-range chicken, fresh vegetables, and flavorful herbs will make a big difference in the final dish.
Don't be afraid to adjust the spices to your liking. If you like it mild, use less curry powder. If you like it spicy, add more. You can also add other spices, such as cumin, chili powder, or ginger, to taste.
Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Let the salad cool slightly before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and the salad will be easier to handle.
Serve the salad on a bed of lettuce or other greens. You can also serve it on bread or crackers.
