Recipe(tried): Re: Scrumptious Artichoke Rice Salad!

Hi! A friend gave me this wonderful recipe for a scrumptious Artichoke Rice
Salad. Try it, and I think you'll agree!

ARTICHOKE RICE SALAD
1 - 8 oz. box chicken-flavored Rice-a-Roni
1- 6 oz. jar marinated artichoke hearts
1/3 cup mayonnaise (I use Lite)
1/4 tsp. curry powder (do NOT leave out)
12 sliced pimento-stuffed green olives
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
3 green onions, thinly sliced
1 small can sliced water chestnuts (or use toasted chopped pecans)

Cook rice as directed on the box. Drain and chop artichokes. Reserve the
liquid and blend with curry & mayonnaise. Add to other ingredients & enjoy!

Note: you can add chopped chicken (I do) - a way to use left-overs, and serve
as a main dish HOT, or serve cold as a salad.
