Pasta Salad

[Jenna]

Anyone have some recipes for pasta salads?


I dont want something you've pasted off another site not knowing how good the recipe actually is...
I want recipes YOU have made.

Well mine is real easy.
._.

I like to use the tri-colored pasta spirals.
Italian dressing.
I chop up, tomato, celery, green pepper, cucumber and red onions.
And then let it marinated or a couple hours.

add some feta and sliced carrots into what abby said

my friend put in these tiny cubes of steak once, and that was suprisingly good

I make my pasta salad with tri-color pasta any kind I like shells or spiral
I add one small bottle of italien dressing to 1 1lb. box of macaroni
with black olives and cooked shrimp (any kind big or small ) cooked and deveined .. thats it it is so simple and yummy I made it for my duaghters baby shower and everyone was raveing how much lhey liked it !

Salt and pepper to taste

a tip for shrimp in general:
don't go too big and don't go too small
the large one are kinda tough and don't have much taste, and the bay (also known as baby) shrimp don't taste like anything at all
31/40* are pretty good
also, peel your own
it takes like 5 minutes, 10 tops if you haven't done it before, for a bag
in my experience with seafood, they shelled ones have more taste


*the numbers on bags of shrimp/prawns are about how many you will get a pound. so the bigger the number, the smaller the shrimp

any kind of pasta.. i like rotini or seashells..oil and vinegar dressing... tomatoes.. artichoke hearts...oilves shredded carrots..mushrooms... and sometimes chicken or shrimp,crab...surimi...what ever is on hand .. lizard

Fusilli pasta (I use wholewheat, but thats cause I don't eat white pasta)
Tomatoes
Cucumber
Peppers (I find red and orange work better)
Diced chicken or turkey (optional)

Dressing:
Either a light mayonnaise dressing (nothing too heavy or it will really weigh the salad down) OR a drizzle of honey mustard or french dressing works nicely.

Serve topped with either spring onions or chopped chives and a side of baby leaf salad.
