LINGUINI SALAD



Linguini Salad image

DD's favorite pasta salad. It's pretty unique, but we have to have it whenever the extended family gets together because everyone loves it.

Provided by Mysterygirl

Categories     Vegetable

Time 15m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb linguine, cooked
1 (18 ounce) jar Wishbone Italian dressing
1/2 jar Salad Supreme dry seasoning (If you can't find this in the spice section at the store, you can make your own. See recipe 24917 Sa)
1 bunch green onion, chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
1 tomatoes, chopped

Steps:

  • Toss Veggies with linguini and dressing.
  • Variation: Toss in any variety of vegetables.

Tips for Making Linguine Pasta Salad:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, ripe vegetables, flavorful cheese, and a good quality olive oil will make all the difference in the taste of your salad.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold up well in the salad.
  • Cool the pasta completely before adding it to the salad: This will help to prevent the salad from becoming watery.
  • Dress the salad lightly: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy and oily.
  • Add the vegetables and cheese just before serving: This will help to keep them crisp and fresh.
  • Serve the salad immediately, or chill it for a few hours before serving: This allows the flavors to meld together.

Conclusion:

Linguine pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing side dish or main course that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its colorful vegetables, flavorful cheese, and tangy dressing, linguine pasta salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck.
