Can't wait to make this again, so yummy. I was reluctant to put the peas and corn in but glad I did. - 08 Nov 2010
I have made this many times, it's addicting! I always add chopped peanuts on top. They compliment the curry wonderfully and realy add extra flavor. I have also decreased the mayo to cut calories and sometimes use chopped Romaine lettuce instead of iceberg with good results. - 29 Sep 2008
I had this for a lunch at my house with lots of women and they all liked it and commented on how good the dressing was. I will make this one again. It was like a meal with the pasta and all the veggies. Great and filling! - 29 Sep 2008
