Curried Cold Rice Salad is a Potluck Favorite

September 1, 2019 Filed Under: Side Dishes

Curried Cold Rice Salad can be a delicious side dish, or add chicken or shrimp for a heartier meal. Great for pot lucks, barbeques and cookouts.

20 years ago, my parents hosted a family reunion. Everyone had a blast getting to know each other. Some cousins hadn’t seen each other in decades, and to watch them scamper after each other you’d have thought they were 7 instead of in their 70’s.

To make it easier on themselves, and because we have a bunch of foodies in the clan, it was a pot luck. If you ever need to host one, or are invited to attend one, you might want to review Ma’am’s suggestions.

The following recipe came from that event. It was brought by Norm and Pat LaLanne. Hang on, let me do some calculating here. I think Norm is my first cousin twice removed. He was my grandmother’s first cousin.  Oh, it doesn’t really matter. They brought this awesome Cold Rice Salad to the party and it was a perfect go with for a barbecue/picnic. Something a little different than potato or macaroni salad.

If you want to serve this as a main course, add 1 pound of cooked shrimp or chopped chicken.

    That looks really interesting! I’d never have though to make a rice salad like that but the curry sounds delicious.
