CUP MAYONNAISE

TEASPOONS CURRY POWDER
or to taste

POUND SHRIMP
small, cleaned, deveined, cooked

CUPS HONEYDEW MELON
balls *

CUP WATER CHESTNUTS

1 ⅓

CUP CONCHIGLIE PICCOLE PASTA
cooked (small sea-shell macaroni, measure before cooking) *

Directions

Mix the curry powder into the mayonnaise. Put the remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Dress with the curried mayonnaise. Chill 1 to 2 hours.

NOTES: A cold pasta dish. This salad is quick and easy. It’s best if made several hours before serving, to get the full curry flavor. It’s been a real hit at potlucks.

A honeydew ball is a ball of honeydew melon that is scooped out of the flesh of the melon with a “balling spoon” or “melon baller."

About 1⅓ cups of conchiglie will make about three cups of cooked macaroni.

Yield: serves 4 to 6.
