  Very tasty- the kids and hubby ate every bite too. Next time grapes or apples sound like a good idea, and upping the curry taste also. I will serve the cilantro on the side, though.. not everybody is as crazy for it as I am!! - 8/17/08

  It sounds very good but the nutritional facts dont add up. I went through the information you provided and recaculated as best I could and the sodium/cal/fat and cholesterol were all higher then reported. Its still wouldn't be a un-healthy recipe but its always best to know exactly what your eating. - 6/14/09

  Outstanding! Very satisfying and tasty! I added a handful of seedless grape halves, or your could use diced apples or mandarin oranges too. The calorie count is low enough that even by adding a fruit you are good to go. - 4/14/07

  This is absolutely delicious. Due to a lack of ingredients, I used cumin and coriander for the curry powder and fat free sour cream instead of yogurt. One of the best home cooked meals I've ever had! - 12/10/09

  Good on top of couscous. I used walnuts instead of almonds because that's what I had on hand. I also added some raisins. - 3/12/08

  I made this yesgterday and had the refrigerated leftovers today. I like it better cold and I think the curry is over-powering. I will make it again but use less curry and maybe some other spices. Good base to play around with and easy to use with other left overs. - 4/19/09

  This is now a staple in our household. I knew it was good when even my mom (world's pickiest eater) loved it! For a variation, I do away with the curry and substitute 1/2 dijon mustard for the yogurt. YUM! - 7/9/09

  I LOVED this! I added a little extra curry, salt and pepper and the flavors were outstanding. My husband was a fan too. When I asked if there was anything I could do different he suggested raisins. Sounds like some people have tried this addition and like it too! - 4/14/08

  Looked great and tasted great! I used a yellow pepper instead of red, spring mix greens instead of spinach , and skipped the cilantro because those are the things I had at home. My husband thought the presentation and the taste was as good as any restraunt. I will definately make this again! - 3/27/08

  I really liked this receipe. It tasted a little strong at first, probably because of the cilantro, but once it settled overnight, it was very tasty! I felt very healthy eating it with the spinach as well. A well-balanced and filling meal! - 12/7/07

  My husband and I both said, "pretty good." I added some celery and dried apples (I was reaching for raisins and saw the apples and used them instead). I miss the fullness of flavor that mayonnaise gives, but yogurt is a healthier binder. Would make it (or a variation of it) again. - 6/13/09

  We thought this was very good. My husband rated it a 5 and thought it could have had twice as much spinach. My daughter gave it a 4 and considered adding pasta, or even replacing chicken with pasta for vege dish. I gave it 4.5 - 4/27/09

  I loved this! So did my house mate that has a low sodium - low sugar diet!! I added some cucumber and it made it even more spring fresh tasting! Next time maybe I will add some mandarin orange segments.

  I love recipes like this that are so adaptable to taste and what you have at hand. I skipped the asparagus, roasted a couple red bell peppers and threw them in, added cumin and cherry tomatoes, lime juice instead of lemon, a bit more cilantro and half Greek yogurt, half real mayo. Delicious, TY! - 3/4/11

  I made this today and decided that I like it. The curry flavor in the dressing is unique. I did add a teaspoon of sugar to the dressing since it was a little tart for my taste. I also added grapes and used leftover turkey that I had on hand instead of chicken. - 7/10/10

  This salad is terrific. I was given a bag of Lime, Cilantro dressing so I used it instead of the yogurt and cilantro, I didn't have any fresh red pepper but, used roasted red pepper in a jar. The salad was all eaten up at first serving.
  
  I appreciate all the variations people include in reviews - 3/18/10
