Curried Chicken Pasta Salad image

I got this recipe from The Pioneer Woman website. I use craisins in lieu of raisins, celery seed instead of celery ribs, and skinless boneless grilled chicken (Creating the broth with bouillon). http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2010/08/curried-chicken-pasta-salad/

I thought this salad was just okay. The curry flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, but the salad was otherwise well-made.

I'm not a big fan of curry, but I actually really enjoyed this salad. The flavors were well-balanced and the salad was very refreshing.

This salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more curry powder and maybe some diced jalapenos next time.

I thought this salad was just okay. The curry flavor was a bit too strong for my taste, and the salad was a little too mayonnaise-y. I think I'll try making it again with less curry powder and mayonnaise.

This salad was delicious! The curry flavor was subtle but present, and the combination of chicken, pasta, and vegetables was perfect. I will definitely be making this again.

I've made this salad twice now and it's quickly become a favorite. The curry powder adds a nice warmth and spice, while the yogurt and mayonnaise make it creamy and tangy. I also love the addition of the grapes and almonds, which add a nice crunch an

This curried chicken pasta salad was a hit at my last potluck! Everyone loved the unique flavor combination of the curry powder, mayonnaise, and yogurt. I also appreciated that the recipe was easy to follow and didn't require any special ingredients.
