My niece always makes a request for my pasta salad and it has become a family favorite. Flavorful and not too heavy.

Categories     Salads

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb pasta of your choice (i like barilla mezza rigatoni
1/2 c mayonnaise (light is nice)
1/2 c italian dressing (something with a robust flavor)
1/3 c shredded carrots
2 stalks celery, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
1/3 c sweet onion, minced
1/2 thin cucumber, quartered and thinly sliced
1/4 tsp black pepper, or to your taste (truthfully i never measure)
1/2 tsp italian seasoning, or to your taste (again, i don't measure)
1 Tbsp parsley

Steps:

  • 1. OK: Please bear in mind that this is not a recipe I measure for, so please adjust to your tastes if something sounds like too much or too little. For the mayo/italian dressing mix, I just try for equal measures.
  • 2. Cook pasta el dente per package instructions.
  • 3. While the pasta is cooking, combine all the above ingredients in a large bowl and let set.
  • 4. Drain and rinse pasta with cold water.
  • 5. Add pasta to bowl containing ingredients. Stir well. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight.
  • 6. ~Enjoy
