Pretty good to play with...

Good basic chicken salad, but could use a lot more oomph from more curry powder, and perhaps some currants or cranberry.  I added more curry powder when I tasted it after it sat, but still needed more vinegar and a little cilantro.

I make a similar recipe with a lot more curry powder (about 1 tsp.) and sub dried apricots for the grapes - a little less sweet. It's always a hit, even with people who don't like curry.

I didn't have the walnuts and used sour cream instead of yogurt - DELICIOUS! Tastes even better once it's chilled for a couple of hours. The curry flavor is very subtle and the grapes add a sweet crisp flavor. Next time I'll be sure to include the walnuts but it is still fantastic without.
