Pasta Salad Variations

January 20th, 2007 by admin

psalad.jpgA great summer dish, where the great thing is there’s no real rules (whatever pasta you want, whatever veggies you want, and whatever sauce you want.) - Sara-Jayne

1. Fill pot with water and bring to a boil
2. Add pasta, about 1/2-1 cup per serving
3. Cook for about 15 min. or tender

4. Drain pasta and rise with cold water, put pasta into a large bowl
5. Cut up veggies (in the picture we have carrots, corn, and peas) but pretty much anything works, you can also try different kinds of cheese.
6. Add veggies to pasta and mix
7. Add sauce, try these different variations: Mayo (you can add a tablespoon of mustard or use half Italian dressing and half mayo), ranch dressing, Caesar dressing, or salad dressing (Italian, roasted pepper, etc.), use different variations and suite to taste, if you want it more creamy add more mayo, if less than use less. If your using 2 or more ingredients for the sauce mix in a separate bowl and then add to pasta and mix.
8. Refridgerate for at least an hour and serve, you can also prepare the night before and refridgerate over night.
9. Enjoy!
