The first time I had this kind of a salad was when my friend, Cyndi made this for July 4th block party. R & I both loved it and as always, I asked for her the recipe. She gave it to me, I made it a couple of times and then lost the recipe. This is what I came up with . And yes, I know this recipe calls for curry powder, but who claimed this recipe was Indian??:) wink wink

Hi Shankari,
My Jewish grandmother used to make a curried chicken salad with grapes
Her curry powder was mixed with mayo. I like your greek yogurt version (with your other additions) better!
Sounds delicious – and the addition of the sweet yet savory fruit is a lovely touch!
sounds so different..im sure it was yum. i do have some chicken at home and am in the mood for some salad..
