ANGEL HAIR PASTA SALAD
This salad is full of flavors. It should be made ahead and refrigerated at least 4 hours to meld all the seasonings together. It is a wonderful salad for a crowd, or for a few, and is very colorful. Don't worry about leftovers as this salad is better the next day. It is always popular.

Steps:
- 1. Prepare the angel hair pasta according to directions (al dente). Cool and set aside. While the pasta is cooking, steam each kind of vegetable separately 1 to 2 minutes. Rinse in cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- 2. In a large bowl, combine chopped onions, black olives, red pepper, monterrey jack cheese. Chop the snow peas in half, as well as the broccoli florets. Combine all steamed vegetables into the bowl with the other ingredients. Add feta cheese. Add cooked pasta. Season with salt and black pepper. Note: Add some garlic powder if you do not use the garlic dressing.
- 3. Sprinkle in the McCormicks Supreme Salad seasoning, using approximaly 3/4 of the bottle. Add the parmesan cheese and toss all ingredients. Pour in enough garlic dressing to moisten the salad good (which requires most of the dressing) but do not oversaturate the salad. You can always add more later after it has chilled. The pasta will soak up some of the dressing. Chill at least 4 hours or longer. It is even better the next day. Enjoy! *You can buy this dressing online (garlic-expressions.com) or substitute another good vinaigrette or italian dressing.

Steps:
- 1. Cook pasta. Do not over cook. It should still be al dente. Drain.
- 2. Chop chicken into bite size chunks. Add salt and pepper. Saute in butter and A LOT of garlic.
- 3. Toss everything together. Add an additional tbsp. of minced garlic, or to taste.
- 4. Note: I prefer feta cheese, plain or flavored.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your pasta salad taste its best. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and tender herbs.
- Cook the pasta al dente. This means cooking it until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unappetizing.
- Let the pasta cool completely before adding the other ingredients. This will prevent the pasta from becoming soggy.
- Use a light dressing. A heavy dressing will weigh down the pasta salad and make it less refreshing.
- Add some fresh herbs to the salad. Herbs will brighten the flavors of the salad and add a pop of color.
- Serve the pasta salad chilled. This will make it even more refreshing on a hot day.
Conclusion:
Angel hair pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your own liking. With a few simple tips, you can make a pasta salad that everyone will love.
