I made this chicken salad for a shower and got tons of compliments. I put the chicken salad on your bunco buns discussed in a previous recipe. I added party picks and olives to the top to dress them up. They were a hit! Thanks for the great recipes!
ReplyDeleteI made this tonight for me and the hubs. It was very good . . oh, and I made it without the cranberries. If you really like curry, you could add another 1-2 tsp. to spice it up! Anyway, thanks for the receipe. It's a keeper.
