Recipe For Curried Artichoke Rice Salad

Since I haven't given out a recipe for a long time, I am including the Curried Artichoke Rice Salad that I served at Andy's birthday party. Scroll down to the picnic lunch post for a picture of it.

Curried Artichoke Rice Salad

1     Package of Chicken flavored Rice-A-Roni
3     Green onions, chopped
1/2  green pepper, chopped
Sliced green olives (as many as you like)
2     6 oz. jars of marinated artichokes (reserve the juice)
1     teaspoon curry powder
1/3  Cup mayonnaise

Cook Rice-A-Roni according to package directions and set aside.

Combine reserved artichoke juice with mayonnaise and add curry powder and pour over rice. Add green onions, peppers and olives. Fold gently. Chill for salad.

Note: You can make this a main dish by adding cooked chicken chunks and serving hot.
