Curried Chicken Rice Salad image

About 30 years ago, I got this recipe from a pamphlet at a Visitor's Center just over the Mississippi River from Mississippi into Arkansas. It has been a summer mainstay ever since. The time required assumes you already have cooled cooked rice. Also, I go heavy on the pineapple and use a whole can rather than 1 cup.

This salad was a disappointment. The chicken was dry and the rice was overcooked.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my salad turned out too spicy. I think I added too much curry powder.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great make-ahead meal.

This salad was easy to make and turned out great! I used brown rice instead of white rice and it was still delicious.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but this salad was delicious! The flavors were well-balanced and the chicken was cooked to perfection.

This was a great recipe! The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the rice was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.
