This salad is a great make-ahead meal. I made it the night before and it was even better the next day. The flavors had time to meld together and the salad was even more flavorful.

This salad is a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. My kids loved the sweet and tangy dressing, and they didn't even notice the vegetables.

I thought this salad was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less curry powder.
