Spicy English Seven-Layer Salad image

This seven-layer salad takes some inspiration from the salads they sell at Boots (pasta shells and julienned carrots) and some inspiration from my grandmother (curry powder and brown sugar). This makes a really refreshing, flavorful salad that I simply love and that my friends request at barbeques!

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups small seashell pasta
4 carrots, peeled and julienned
½ head leaf lettuce - rinsed, dried, and chopped
1 medium cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
¾ cup frozen green peas
½ cup frozen whole-kernel corn
2 cups mayonnaise
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon curry powder
½ teaspoon garlic salt
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta, and cook until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water to cool.
  • Place the carrots in an even layer in the bottom of a large glass bowl, preferably one that is roughly the same diameter from top to bottom. Place the lettuce in a layer over the carrots. Combine the cucumber, peas and corn; spread in a layer over the lettuce. Once the pasta is cooled and drained, then spread that out over the top.
  • In a smaller bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, brown sugar, curry powder, and garlic salt. Spread this carefully over the pasta. Top with shredded Cheddar cheese. Cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover turkey or chicken. I also like to add some chopped hard-boiled eggs for extra protein.
