CURRIED CHICKEN RICE SALAD
About 30 years ago, I got this recipe from a pamphlet at a Visitor's Center just over the Mississippi River from Mississippi into Arkansas. It has been a summer mainstay ever since. The time required assumes you already have cooled cooked rice. Also, I go heavy on the pineapple and use a whole can rather than 1 cup.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare a regular box of chicken flavored Rice A Roni according to package directions. While the Rice A Roni is cooking, cut up a chicken breast into bite size cubes, halve the green grapes, thinly slice 1 stalk of celery, drain the mandarin oranges and marinated artichoke hearts. Reserve 2 tbsp of the marinated artichoke oil. In a large bowl, add the cooked Rice a Roni and the rest of the ingredients. TASTE! Adjust seasonings to your taste!! Some folks like more curry powder while others just like a little hint of it. If using a large FAMILY size box of Rice A Roni double the rest of the ingredients. It's a very forgiving recipe. Refrigerate.

CURRIED RICE SALAD
When we lived at Fort Polk, another military wife, Claire, shared this recipe with me after I tasted it at a dinner party she hosted. It is now one of my favorite salads and I am so thankful that she was gracious enough to share her recipe. Prep time assumes you are starting with precooked rice. Cook time is actually the chilling time (although it can chill overnight as well). This makes 6 generous portions or more smaller ones.

CURRIED SHRIMP AND RICE SALAD
Steps:
- Cook the Rice A Roni and white rice in a covered saute pan according to Rice A Roni box directions - Toward the end of sautéing the rice mixture, add curry powder to pan and let it sauté for a minute before adding the water. Don't forget to add Rice A Roni seasoning packet. Be careful not to cook the rice too long. Let it sit undisturbed in the pan uncovered until it is cooled. Try not to stir the rice too much after it's cooked so it doesn't get broken or too mushy. Chop parsley (lots!) and peppers. Mix mayo, juice and sugar to make dressing. In large bowl, gently toss the curry rice, chopped vegetables, raisins, almonds, and shrimp with the dressing. I only use dressing to lightly moisten and bind the ingredients. The mixed salad should still be "crumbly" not stuck together with dressing Tip: If your raisins aren't tender, they usually benefit by soaking them while you are cooking the rice in a little orange juice.
