NOTES:
* A cold pasta dish --
This salad is quick and easy. It's best if made several hours before serving, to get the full curry flavor. It's been a real hit at potlucks. Yield: serves 4 to 6.
* A honeydew ball is a ball of honeydew melon that is scooped out of the flesh of the melon with a "balling spoon" or "melon baller." About 1 1/3 cups of conchiglie will make about three cups of cooked macaroni.
: Difficulty: easy. : Time: 25 minutes (includes time to cook macaroni and make melon balls.) : Precision: no need to measure. : : Moira Mallison (tektronix!moiram) : Organization: Tektronix, Inc. Beaverton, Oregon
