Pasta Salad HELP!!!!
So, my SIL makes a basic pasta salad that has tricolored pasta, I THINK sald dressing of some kind, mozzerella cheese, some vegetables..... it's just a basic pasta salad, I guess. I just have no idea how to do it!! Is it just Italian dressing? Do you have to do anything before you dump the dressing in? I am sooo clueless, and my SIL is on vacation so I can't even ask her.
HELP!!!!

Re: Pasta Salad HELP!!!!
I just use plain old Italian Dressing (i.e. Wishbone) for my pasta salads.

Re: Pasta Salad HELP!!!!
I like a basil vinaigrette for pasta salads in the summer:
Good bunch of basil
a couple of cloves of garlic
Olive oil
A splash of balsamic vinegar
Some Red wine or apple cider vinegar
Salt
Pepper
Put it all in a mini-prep and let her rip until it's smooth.
My girlfriend uses the Good Seasons Basil vinaigrette and adds some chopped fresh basil to the salad itself. It's pretty good!

I use Good Seasons packet, and add a teaspoon of sugar to it. It always comes out delicious.

Re: Pasta Salad HELP!!!!
How much Italian dressing do you use per pound of pasta? ANd can you use the dressing with the cheese?

Re: Pasta Salad HELP!!!!
I personally never really measure. I just put it in until all the pasta is covered. Yeah, it's good with the cheese dressings. I often sprinkle parmesan cheese on mine as well.

me too...you just keep putting and tasting to see if its good...the pasta absorbs alot of the dressing so make sure you put a good amount.
