Oh please DO NOT use those powders...they aren't like the real thing and you will have enough seasoning with the Italian dressing. Sliced black olives, chunks of cukecumbers, and cherry tomatoes. But one thing is really a must and that is ';Macormick Salad Supreme';. it turns it a little orange and it's deleicious...it is also in the original recipe when Italian pasta salads first came out. Also if you want...little bay scallops!!!Does anyone know a easy recipe to Italian seafood pasta salad?
