Another Catalina Pasta Salad image

The first time I had this salad, I thought it was some sort of a cheese mixed with pasta. The original recipe was made with chili-mac pasta and hardboiled eggs. I now use rotini pasta and never use the eggs just because of their wonderful aroma :) The recipe instructions are based upon making it the night before. To make the same day, empty all the ingredients in together (including all of the Catalina dressing) and chill for at least 2 hours. Cooking time does not included chill time nor does it include cook time for hardboiled eggs.

Time 26m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs pasta (I use rotini)
1 large green pepper (cored and diced small)
24 ounces Catalina dressing, divided (I used Kraft)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 eggs (hardboiled, cooled, and sliced) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions on package.
  • While pasta is cooking chop up the green pepper.
  • Once pasta is cooked, drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is no longer warm.
  • Empty into large bowl with the green peppers.
  • Add 16 ounces of Catalina dressing and 1/2 cup of mayo and stir until pasta is completely coated. (It should have a creamy orange consistency).
  • Add sliced hardboiled eggs and fold into pasta mixture (optional).
  • Refrigerate overnight.
  • About an hour before serving, pour in the last 8 ounces of Catalina dressing and stir well. (more mayo can be added if desired).

This pasta salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before a party, and it was even better the next day.

I used a different type of pasta in this recipe, and it turned out great! I used penne pasta instead of macaroni, and it held up well in the dressing.

I added some chopped bacon to this pasta salad, and it was delicious! The bacon added a nice smoky flavor.

I'm not a big fan of mayonnaise, so I used Greek yogurt instead in the dressing. It turned out great! The dressing was still creamy and tangy, but it was a bit lighter.
