Macaroni Salad with preserved lemon, curry, and turmeric is a delightful way to eat preserved lemons. This simple macaroni salad is served warm to showcase the mildness of preserved lemon and the warm flavors of curry and turmeric.
The macaroni salad can be served as a delicious side or transformed into a hearty meal with the addition of grilled chicken.
Marinate chicken for one hour in ¼ cup lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon curry powder, ¼ teaspoon turmeric and 1 teaspoon garlic salt. Grill marinated chicken until juices run clear. Slice and serve over warm macaroni salad.
