SUPREME PASTA SALAD

Supreme Pasta Salad image

An Italian pasta salad with meat, cheese, veggies. Try switching out different ingredients, I usually use what I have on hand, so the recipe changes a bit, but this is my favorite version. I like it better when the veggies are chopped small. It takes a long time to chop up the veggies, so sometimes I like to throw them in the food processor and pulse them a few times. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

16 ounces rotini pasta or 16 ounces shell pasta (sometimes I use the colored pasta to jazz it up for partys)
1 (8 ounce) bottle zesty Italian dressing
4 tablespoons McCormick Salad Supreme Seasoning
5 cups assorted raw vegetables (tomatoes, carrots, broccoli, califlower, or red onions)
sliced olive (optional)
mozzarella cheese (optional)

Steps:

Cook pasta, rinse under cold water and drain well.
Place pasta in large salad bowl, add dressing and seasoning, and toss gently to coat.
Cut vegetables to bite size pieces, add veggies to pasta and mix gently.
Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours.

Tips:

Use a variety of pasta shapes and sizes. This will add visual interest and texture to your salad.
Don't overcook the pasta. Al dente pasta is best for salads because it will hold its shape and not become mushy.
Rinse the pasta with cold water after cooking. This will stop the cooking process and help the pasta cool down quickly.
Use a variety of vegetables in your salad. This will add color, flavor, and nutrition.
Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many different types of dressings that can be used on pasta salad, so find one that you like and experiment with others until you find one that you love.
Make sure your salad is well-chilled before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad more refreshing.
Garnish your salad with fresh herbs or grated cheese before serving. This will add a pop of color and flavor.

Conclusion:

Pasta salad is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. It's a great option for a summer picnic or potluck dinner. With so many different recipes to choose from, you're sure to find one that you'll love. So next time you're looking for a refreshing and easy-to-make dish, give pasta salad a try.
