CURRIED CHICKEN BARLEY SALAD
A trip through the potluck line at a 4-H supper introduced me to this luscious cold summer salad. The ingredients sound a bit unusual, but they blend beautifully together. Besides cooking, I enjoy crafting, gardening and watching birds and wildlife that populate our rural area.

[email protected]I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt in the dressing instead. It was just as creamy and delicious, but it was also a healthier option.
