Michael, I made this curried apple salad for dinner tonight. >>

I won't make it again....but that's me.

First, I didn't have the apples they called for, I used gala. I love apples, I love curry but I've always had curry in hot food (warm heated, not necessarily spicy heat) and loved it.

But I took one bite the apple, between the lemon and MILD curry I have, it kind of puckered my cheek and I just didn't like the curry with the cold apple.

My husband ended up eating his salad and said it was mild, he wasn't tasting much. But he can eat really HOT stuff.

I ended up adding raisins, dates and mayo to mine before I could eat it! Then I had visions of blending the curry into the mayo, then maybe.....

At least with the additions I put in my salad I didn't taste curry much.

So, I definitely won't make this salad again.

You may like it better. I suspect it depends on the apples, the type curry and the person's taste.
