This salad was really easy to make and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken. I used a rotisserie chicken and it worked perfectly. I also added some chopped red onion for extra flavor.

I'm not a big fan of curry, but I really enjoyed this salad! The curry flavor was very subtle and the cantaloupe added a sweetness that I really liked. I'll definitely be making this salad again.

This salad was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if the cantaloupe had been replaced with a different fruit, such as mango or pineapple.

This salad was a bit bland for me. I think I would have liked it more if I had used a spicier curry powder. I also would have added some more salt and pepper.

I didn't have any cantaloupe on hand, so I used mango instead. It was still really good, but I think the cantaloupe would have been better. I'll definitely try it again with cantaloupe next time.

This salad was a bit too spicy for me, but I think that's just because I used a medium curry powder. Next time, I'll use a mild curry powder and see how that turns out.
