3/4 pound small red potatoes |
1 pound carrots, cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices |
1/2 pound green beans, trimmed and halved crosswise |
1 large onion, sliced thin |
2 teaspoons curry powder, or to taste |
1 tablespoon vegetable oil |
2 plum tomatoes, each cut into 6 wedges |
1/2 cup mayonnaise |

1 whole skinless boneless chicken breast (about 3/4 pound), cooked and cut into 1/2-inch cubes |

Boil and cool carrots and green beans separately in same manner and add to potatoes. 2. 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. 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. |
