1 tsp sugar (or more to taste)
3 tsp curry powder

This recipe is a fail. The chicken was tough and the dressing was way too sweet.

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

This salad is a bit bland. I think I'll add some chopped nuts or seeds next time for some extra flavor.

I found that the chicken was a bit dry. I think I'll try cooking it for a shorter amount of time next time.

The dressing is a bit too sweet for my taste, but that's easily fixed by adding a little less sugar or honey.

This salad is so easy to make and it's a great way to use up leftover chicken.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of curry, but I'm glad I did! The curry flavor is very mild and the salad is actually quite refreshing.

I've made this salad several times now and it's always a crowd-pleaser. The dressing is perfectly balanced and the chicken is always tender and juicy.

This sweet curried chicken and quinoa salad was a hit at my last potluck! The flavors were amazing and the quinoa added a nice nutty flavor.
