  1. Very good salad. The seasonings just make this different and wonderful.
     
  2. The flavors in this salad blend so well together that it is hard for any one flavor to stand out. I used the left overs of a smoked chicken and added some grilled chicken to make up the full amount of chicken. Tripled the recipe to take to a church potluck and it was gone in minutes,with lots of requests for the recipe. Thank you for posting
     
  3. This was very good on a hot night. Tasted better the second day. I didn't have the coriander, so I left it out, I'll make sure to add it next time. Thanks!
     
  4. This salad was divine! Like Swiz58, I also used almonds instead of cashews - because that is what I had to hand. This will definitely become a standard for summer BBQs.
     
  5. This was very good. I halved the recipe and used almonds instead of cashews (yum). I would make more dressing next time and most likely add more curry
