KFC MACARONI SALAD

This is very creamy and delicious, but I prefer a little more textures with my noodles and mayonnaise so I added some fresh vegetables to it so I'd have some crunch. This does taste like the colonel would make it. Serving size is estimated.

COPYCAT CRUNCHWRAP SUPREME

If you are a fan of the Crunchwrap Supreme from the famous fast food chain then you've come to the right place. Not only can you make it at home for the fraction of the price, the beef is actually present. I always get my beef on sale and make 4 at a time but wrote this up for 1 serving to suit your individual needs. Serve with taco sauce if desired.

Tips:

  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means that the pasta should be cooked until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and will not hold its shape well in the salad.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, texture, and flavor to the salad. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, cucumbers, onions, and tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to add some protein: This will make the salad more filling and satisfying. Some good options include cooked chicken, ham, bacon, or shrimp.
  • Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what will really bring the salad together. A good option is to use a combination of mayonnaise, sour cream, and vinegar. You can also add some herbs, spices, or mustard to taste.
  • Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to meld and will make the salad more refreshing.

Conclusion:

KFC pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken or ham. With a few simple tips, you can make a KFC pasta salad that is just as good as the one from the restaurant. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy side dish, give this recipe a try.
