Chicken Curry Pasta Salad

June 5, 2016 by Great Grub, Delicious Treats

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Years ago, I  went to my cousin’s house for a baby shower and this chicken curry pasta salad was one of the many delicious food items being served! I also remember getting the recipe from my cousin Dale’s wife, Sondia, at that time.  I had made this recipe a few times over the years and enjoyed it tremendously each and every time! I’ve been seriously thinking about this salad lately and started searching everywhere for the recipe. No luck! I finally sent an email to my cousin for a copy because this chicken curry pasta salad is too good not to share! Thank you Dale and Sondia for getting me a copy so quickly!

This salad is A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!!! The flavor of the curry, mixed with all the crunchiness of the lettuce and cucumbers, water chestnuts and pea pods, just make this an irresistible salad! As a young women back then, in my late twenties, I would have never even tried this recipe. We didn’t eat stuff like this growing up, BUT, I’m so glad that I actually tasted this delicious salad that day. So DELICIOUS!

Chicken Curry Pasta Salad

The way you layer the ingredients in the salad bowl, or mixing bowl, keeps the crunchy ingredients crunchy. It’s not until you mix all the ingredients together, right before serving, that everything gets coated with the delicious curried mayonnaise.

Man oh man, is this good! So crunchy, crispy and full of delicious flavor! I dice up my water chestnuts and cucumbers fairly small, and cut the chicken into bite size pieces. Little tip here… Cut the chicken prior to boiling that way the chicken cooks quicker!
