A wonderful mix of spicy and sweet, crunchy and tender, with warm notes of the curry powder in every bite. Definitely worthy of company. Since there is so much going on in this salad, it seems more at home as an entree salad than on the side, in which case I recommend adding some seitan or chicken strips.
