It's springtime!!! And spring requires easier, lighter, and quicker foods. Curried Chicken Salad fits the bill beautifully. This chicken salad uses mild English-style curry powder and isn't the least bit spicy. It's kid- and grandmother-approved!

Fruit salad?  Whoop-di-doo, right?  Nothing to see here.  Yawn.  UNLESS you give a little thought to the components and make this silly easy dressing to drizzle all over it.  In that case, fruit salad can be awesome!   I think the biggest mistakes people make...
