Curried Pasta Salad image

This recipe came from a Family Circle publication "Quick and Easy Meals-Jan 1979". I have listed the ingredients as published but the amount of curry dressing given in the recipe makes the salad a little too creamy for my taste. I usually add about 2/3 of it to the salad and save the rest to use as a sauce for other things. It is very good with omelets or chicken tenders. Cook time is refrigeration time.

1 cup seeded and diced cucumber
1 cup slivered red onion

  • Cook and drain pasta according to package directions.
  • Pour into a large bowl (see note) and toss with vinagrette dressing.

  • Add to other ingredients and mix gently to combine.
  • Cover and refrigerate several hours to chill and blend flavors.
  • To serve, line a glass salad bowl with lettuce and spoon salad on top.
  • I like to garnish with a sprinkle of paprika.

I'm not a huge fan of raisins but I didn't mind them in this salad. The curry flavor is dominant and the raisins add a bit of texture.
