Curried pasta salad
1 hour 25 min
A simple but tasty pasta salad, with big bold flavours. Perfect as a BBQ accompaniment or outdoor picnic dish. This recipe, a firm favourite of my grandparents, was passed down to me by my grandmother in 2006. Feel free to experiment with quantities or try adding peppers, peas, ham, perhaps tuna...?
