Recipe Instructions

Combine the curry powder, mayonnaise, and vinegar. Set aside.

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until tender and drain well. Add the mayonnaise mixture to the pasta while the pasta is still warm. Allow the macaroni to cool and add the prepared vegetables and the chutney. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

The salad is best if taken from the refrigerator a half hour before serving.

Note: For this recipe, I use Raffetto's Colonial Chut-Nut Chutney because I like the relatively dry consistency and its distinct chunks of fruit and nuts.
