Artichoke and Curry Rice-A-Roni Salad...the San Francisco Treat

Hear the name Rice-A-Roni and if you're of a certain age, you will start singing it's theme song: Rice-A-Roni the San Francisco Treat.  Yep, I love me some RaR.  Chicken flavor mixed with steamed peas...yes, please!  However, RaR is delicious beyond the stove top.  Give this yummy RaR salad (from the official RaR website) a try...you'll love it!

Rice A Roni Curry Artichoke Salad

1 (6 oz) box chicken flavor Rice-A-Roni
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
3/4 tsp curry powder
2 (6 oz) jars marinated artichoke hearts, quarterd and juice reserved.
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sliced pimento stuffed green olives
1/2 cup green bell pepper
4 green onions, chopped
ground black pepper to taste

In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté rice-vermicelli mix in oil and curry powder until golden brown, stirring frequently.  Add 2 1/2 cups water and seasoning and bring to a boil.  Cover and simmer on low for 15-20 minutes or until rice is tender.  Cool.

Drain artichoke hearts, reserving juice from 1 jar.  Combine reserved marinade and mayonnaise.  Stir mayonnaise, olives, bell pepper, green onion into cooled RaR.  Season with pepper to taste.  Chill at least 1 hour before serving.
