I'm not a big fan of mayo, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It turned out great!

This salad is a bit too spicy for me. I think I'll use less curry powder next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my salad turned out really watery. I think I may have added too much dressing.

The rice was a bit overcooked for my liking, but the rest of the salad was delicious.

This salad is a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra curry powder and cayenne pepper to give it a little more kick.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I used a rotisserie chicken and it worked perfectly. The salad is also very versatile. You can add or remove ingredients to suit your taste.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but I really enjoyed this salad. The curry flavor is very mild and it's balanced out by the sweetness of the fruit and the crunch of the vegetables.
