I was disappointed with this recipe. The chicken was dry and the salad was bland.

This salad is a bit too spicy for my taste, but I'm sure I could adjust the amount of curry powder to suit my own preference.

I love that this recipe uses Greek yogurt instead of mayonnaise. It makes the salad lighter and healthier, without sacrificing any of the flavor.
