- To make curry flavoring, soften diced Onion in hot oil, then add curry powder and cook over medium-high heat for a further 3 minutes.
- Add wine and water.
- Boil rapidly until reduced to about 3 tablespoons.
- Strain and let cool.
- Prepare curry Mayonnaise by combining all ingredients until smooth.
- Place peppers in a large bowl (reserving a little for garnish), with Chicken, Pasta, salt, pepper and curry Mayonnaise.
- Mix gently until well coated.
- If Mayonnaise mixture is too thick, add warm water gradually until a smooth consistency is attained.
- Place a portion of salad on bed of spinach and sprinkle reserved peppers on top.
- Assemble just before serving, as the Mayonnaise quickly loses its fresh look. == [http://groups.yahoo.com/group/catsrecipes/ Cat's Recipes Y-Group]
