I made this recipe as directed, and must say that I was rewarded with a lovely salad. I think the 3 Tbsps of curry was just right. I used a good Chardonay. The variety of flavors were wonderful together, and the texture was pleasing to me. Served on a bed of butter lettuce made it visually appealing. Thanks MarieAlice for sharing your wonderful recipe!

Was I glad to find this recipe! Feeling a bit under the weather and wanted something quick and easy. I poached skinless boneless chicken breasts. Used 1/2 cup mayo and 1 cup non-fat plain yogurt. Mixed it up this morning and shredded some carrots into it(love carrots and raisins together). Tossed it with the dressing and into the fridge it went for tonite. I rough chopped some Napa cabbage to make individual nests for the chicken salad. No cashews in the house, but I do have some slivered almonds to use at serving time. I cheated and had a bit for lunch....the flavors meld very nicely together. So, again, MarieAlice, thank you for a quick and delish supper.
