2 teaspoons curry powder, or to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

Boil and cool carrots and green beans separately in same manner and add to potatoes.

    In a large skillet cook onion and curry powder in oil over moderately high heat, stirring, until onion is softened and add tomatoes. Cook mixture, stirring occasionally, 1 minute and add to vegetables. Cool mixture.

    Step 3

    In a small bowl whisk together mayonnaise and yogurt and stir into cool vegetable mixture with chicken, pork or ham, and salt and pepper to taste. Salad may be made 4 hours ahead and chilled, covered.
