This is one of the few recipes that I prefer to use a packaged mix. You may add some cooked shrimp or chicken to this salad for a tasty change.
Ingredients:
6 ounces chicken rice-a-roni
7 ounces marinated artichoke hearts
1/3 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons curry powder (to taste)
1/2 cup green olives, sliced thin
1/4 cup minced green pepper
1/4 cup minced red bell pepper
4 green onions, sliced thin
1/2 cup black olives, sliced thin
1/4 cup dried cranberries
1/8 cup shelled roasted sunflower seeds
1 tablespoon seasoned rice vinegar
Directions:
1. Cook Rice A Roni according to package directions, but omit the butter. 2. Mix all ingredients carefully in a large bowl. 3. Taste and adjust seasonings. 4. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 5. Garnish with sliced green onions, if desired.
