Kickin' Chicken Salad image

Grapes, cherries and curry powder combine for a delicious marriage of sweet and spicy. The complex flavors of this lunch and summertime favorite are sure to make your tongue happy. For tender and juicy chicken, marinate chicken breasts in buttermilk and slowly grill; or for a fast and easy alternative, use a store-bought rotisserie chicken.
