WEIGHT WATCHERS LUNCHBOX CURRIED CHICKEN PASTA SALAD
This is a very flavourful, flexible recipe. If serving immediately, I add baby plum tomatoes but these can make the dressing thin if it's being stored before serving. If you cannot find korma powder, just use 1tbsp + 1tsp curry powder. I use penne for this recipe- if you are counting propoints, it's probably best to weigh the pasta to 150g as it varies so much by volume. This serves 4 as a smaller lunch portion or 2-3 as a main dinner dish.
