1 tablespoon honey mustard or other prepared mustard
2 to 3 teaspoons curry powder

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use high-quality curry powder. Look for a brand that is made with fresh, aromatic spices.
  • If you don't have any curry powder on hand, you can make your own by combining ground coriander, cumin, turmeric, fenugreek, and chili powder.
  • Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through but still tender. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
  • Use a variety of vegetables in your pasta salad. This will add color, flavor, and texture.
  • To make the dressing, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, curry powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  • If you like a tangy dressing, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of white wine vinegar.
  • For a creamy dressing, add a dollop of Greek yogurt or cream cheese.
  • Serve the chicken pasta salad immediately or chill it for later.

Conclusion:

This chicken pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. The creamy curry dressing adds a unique and flavorful twist to this classic salad. With a variety of vegetables and tender chicken, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone at your next party or potluck.
