Recipe by Manami

When you want to put on the "dog" but not the fat, try this colorful salad.Not only is it colorful but downright pretty - serve with fresh bread, pitas or water wafers, if you choose. Bon Appetit The original recipe calls for 2 tsp of curry powder and the reviewers and I agree that this was too much. ;)
