Step 1
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a lively boil.

Once it's bubbling, toss in the tri-color spiral pasta and cook it according to the package instructions, which usually takes about 8 to 10 minutes until it reaches that perfect al dente texture.

In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the vibrant curry powder, a pinch of salt, creamy mayonnaise, and a splash of zesty lemon juice.

Give it a good stir until everything is beautifully blended.
Step 6
Now, gently add the cooled pasta to the bowl, tossing it lightly to ensure every twist and turn is coated in that delicious dressing.
Step 7
Next, fold in the crunchy chopped apple, sweet raisins, fresh green onions, grated carrots, crumbled tofu, and nutty pine nuts.
Step 8
Mix everything together until all the ingredients are harmoniously combined.
