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.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover chicken or turkey. It's also a great make-ahead dish, so it's perfect for picnics or potlucks.
