"Super Summer Barbecue," via "Better Homes and Gardens"
Note from original author: This hearty chicken-pasta dinner salad takes on worldly flavors of papaya & curry. Choose a fresh papaya -- free from bruises & soft spots -- that is at least half yellow & feels somewhat soft when pressed. If it feels firm, ripen it at room temperature for 3 to 5 days until it is yellow to yellow-orange.
1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain the pasta & rinse with cold water, then drain again.
2. Meanwhile, to prepare the pineapple: remove the crown. Wash & peel the pineapple. Remove the eyes & core. Slice the pineapple & cut the slices in half.
3. To prepare the papaya: Peel & half the papaya. Scoop out the seeds. Slice the papaya.
4. In a large salad bowl, combine the cooked pasta, pineapple, papaya, romaine lettuce & chicken. Toss lightly to mix. Divide the salad among four serving plates.
5. For the Dressing: In a small mixing bowl, stir together the mayonnaise dressing, honey, rice vinegar, curry powder, sesame oil & jalapeno peppers. Drizzle the dressing mixture over the four salads. If desired, sprinkle with cashew halves & pieces.
