Good for lunch or dinner, this warm-weather pasta salad is a complete meal when served over a bed of lettuce with a side of fresh sliced garden tomatoes and warm garlic breadsticks. I usually add more curry powder than the recipe calls for.

Time 1h20m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb chicken breast, diced
1 tablespoon sweet curry powder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice, divided
4 quarts water (for boiling pasta)
1 teaspoon salt
1 lb dry pasta
2 cups snap peas, chopped in half
1/2 cup minced red onion
2/3 cup low-fat mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dijon-style mustard

  • Combine curry, oil, and 1 T lemon juice, pour over chicken, toss to coat, cover and refrigerate 1-2 hours.
  • Heat large nonstick skillet over med heat, add chicken.
  • Cook, stirring regularly, about 3 min (or more). Reduce the heat a bit if the sauce starts to darken.

  • Boil pasta in salt and water, rinse and set aside. For about the final 2 min of cooking time, add the peas, drain and rinse w/rest of pasta.
  • While pasta cooks, prepare the salad dressing. It is important to have dressing done at same time as pasta, so pasta doesn't sit w/out dressing too long, as it will clump.

  • Add the curried chicken w/all the sauce out of the pan; whisk to blend.
  • Add pasta and peas, toss to coat and add salt if desired.
