My whole family enjoyed this including my picky 14-year-old. I used low fat sour cream and mayo omitted the black olives added sliced green grapes and substituted farfalle pasta for the elbow macaroni. Delicious! (And there were leftovers for lunch tomorrow!) Read More

Made it exactly as the recipe calls but didn't add the apples. I thought it was boring and dry. I'm starting to think that pasta and curry do not go together. Read More

I loved this salad. I bought some curry powder at the store for this recipe and it brought back so many memories of my moms shrimp curry recipes. I really enjoyed it except I didn't use the olives or fruit. I also used light mayo and light sour cream. It was wonderful. Read More

I had to make a few modifications since I didn't want to go to the store but the dressing for this salad is amazing! I doubled the recipe but only used about a 1/2 c. of sour cream and 1 1/2 c. of mayo with the garlic and curry. Instead of the apples I put in about 6 diced piquante peppers for amazing color and flavor. Wasn't sure about the olives in this but they were great! Highly recommend this. Read More

It's missing something - I'm not sure what. I expected something with bolder flavors. I added more curry but that did not do it. Read More

This was great! Loved the flavors! Used left over white meat chicken made with a recipe from this site: Honey Baked Chicken II. Didn't add sour cream mushrooms or yellow bell pepper as I didn't have any on hand. Did add canned baby corn because I had some left over and it sounded good. The result was delicious! I deferred from the original recipe but I'm still giving it 5 stars because it was an interesting and fresh change from boring old macaroni and I think there could be many slight variations to it (next time I may add walnuts and/or raisins) and the creamy curry sauce would still bring it all together. Everyone loved it! Thank you! Read More
