Catalina Pasta Salad image

Great for any hamburger supper or pot luck dinner. This is better than any pasta salad I have EVER had as I'm not big on the vinegar based ones. I'm always asked to bring this to family gatherings. This makes a ton, so you may want to cut it down. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!

Time 37m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package tri-color spiral pasta
Miracle Whip
Catalina dressing
1 package frozen green pea
1 -2 cucumber, peeled and diced
1 package cherry tomatoes, halved
1 package baby carrots

Steps:

  • Boil pasta according to package directions.
  • I usually add the baby carrots to the pasta about midway thru cooking.
  • Place frozen peas in a large colinder and dump cooked pasta& carrots on top.
  • Let drain.
  • When carrots have cooled, I slice them in half lengthwise.
  • Place pasta, peas& carrots in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add miracle whip and catalina dressing until moistened.
  • Sorry, I have no measurements as this is how I got the recipe.
  • You just have to keep tasting and adding until you find the right taste.
  • I like mine with more Catalina than Miracle Whip.
  • I like to chill mine at least an hour before serving.
  • Prior to serving add cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.
  • After it chills, you may need to add more Catalina and/or Miracle Whip.
  • If you make this the day before, don't add your cucumbers and tomatoes-it will make it watery.
  • Feel free to change up your vegetables!

I'm not a huge fan of mayonnaise-based pasta salads, but this one is an exception. The Catalina dressing is light and refreshing, and the vegetables add a nice crunch. I will definitely be making this again.

This pasta salad was a hit at my last potluck! I used rotini noodles and added some chopped red onion for a little extra flavor. It was a great make-ahead dish and held up well in the fridge overnight.
