Over the years my husband and I have moved to different areas, and I've collected recipes from all over the United States. This flavorful salad recipe comes from New York. I've served it for luncheons for many years, and it's one of my husband's very favorites. —Linda Wheatley, Garland, Texas

I make this a couple of times each summer, and it's always a big hit!

My two teenaged sons love this recipe, and consider it a special treat when I make it for them. Definitely a keeper!

I'm glad to find a chicken salad with curry powder in it. I had a similare recipe and lost it. It sounds wonderful.
