Curried Chicken Barley Salad image

A trip through the potluck line at a 4-H supper introduced me to this luscious cold summer salad. The ingredients sound a bit unusual, but they blend beautifully together. Besides cooking, I enjoy crafting, gardening and watching birds and wildlife that populate our rural area.

I wasn't a fan of this salad. The flavors were just okay and the barley was too chewy.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less curry powder.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.
