Curried Chicken Rice Salad image

About 30 years ago, I got this recipe from a pamphlet at a Visitor's Center just over the Mississippi River from Mississippi into Arkansas. It has been a summer mainstay ever since. The time required assumes you already have cooled cooked rice. Also, I go heavy on the pineapple and use a whole can rather than 1 cup.

I'm not a fan of raisins in my salad, so I omitted them from this recipe. The salad was still very good without them.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred it if there was more curry flavor.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I used a hotter curry powder than the recipe called for. Next time I'll use a milder curry powder and I think it will be perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of curry, but I decided to give this recipe a try and I'm so glad I did! The curry flavor was very mild and it was the perfect complement to the chicken and rice. This dish is definitely a keeper.
