Recipe for "curry-salad"

NAME

     CURRY-SALAD - 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.

INGREDIENTS (serves 4 to 6)

     60 g      mayonnaise
     10 ml     curry powder (or to taste)
     500 g     small shrimp (cleaned, deveined, and cooked)
     300 g     honeydew balls
     200 g     slivered water chestnuts, drained.
     150 g     small sea shell  pasta,  cooked.  (measure  before
               cooking)

PROCEDURE

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

NOTES

     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.'' 150 g of pasta will make 750 ml of  cooked
     macaroni.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 25 minutes (includes time  to  cook
     macaroni and make melon balls.)  Precision: no need to meas-
     ure.
