Yes, curry powder is the one ingredient that elevates those summer pasta salads. Adding this powder to your dressing creates a warm and earthy flavor profile that pairs well with all the veggies thrown into the dish.
And the best part is the spice level is completely up to you. I recommend grabbing a more mild curry powder so as not to overwhelm the dish. Here’s the ingredients you’ll need:
Spiral Pasta: Of course, the pasta shape is completely up to you, but I prefer the classic spiral.
Salt: Salt enhances the flavor. The amount you put in is up to you. Curry Powder: Any mild curry powder will do, homemade or store-bought .
Yogurt: I recommend a Greek-style yogurt to help add some creaminess to the dressing. Mayonnaise: Pick your favorite mayo for this dish!
Lemon Juice: Citrus juice brightens things up. Some fresh produce: This is up to you, but we recommend adding apples, green onions, and carrots.
Pine nuts or almonds: To add a little bit of crunch to the dish.
Directions: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain.
Combine curry powder, salt, mayonnaise, yogurt, and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add cooked pasta and toss to coat. Mix in apple, raisins, green onion, carrots, and nuts.
