Description

One of my favorite summer salads. Marinated mushrooms, artichoke hearts, curry powder… Add some chicken or shrimp to it and it’s a complete meal. Who knew Rice-A-Roni could be elevated to this level?

Ingredients

  • 1 box 7 Oz Size Chicken Rice-A-Roni, Prepared
  • 1 can 8 Oz Size Sliced Water Chestnuts
  • 1 jar 12 Oz Size Marinated Artichoke Hearts, Chopped
  • 1 jar 12 Oz Size Marinated Mushrooms, Sliced
  • ½ cups Green Onions, Chopped
  • 1 cup Sour Cream
  • ⅓ cups Mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Curry Powder, Or To Taste

Preparation

Cook Rice-A-Roni according to package directions. Add rest of ingredients and mix together well. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled before serving.

If you want to, you can add cooked chicken or shrimp to make it a main dish salad.

Adjust curry powder to taste. If I’m not sure that my guests will like curry, I use a little less. If it’s just me, I might add more.

Hint: you can marinate your own mushrooms and canned artichoke hearts overnight in bottled Italian dressing instead of buying them pre-marinated. I just dump some thick sliced small fresh mushrooms and a drained can of artichoke hearts in water into a Ziploc bag, dump in some Italian dressing and let it sit in the fridge overnight until I need it for the recipe the next day.

My grandmother has this recipe. I think it is sooo yummy – we just love it in our family, and it’s something different from a green salad, or jello salad, or pasta salad. Thanks for sharing!
