I like it with thin spagetti noodles, olives, red onions, grape tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, and (only use) Kraft zesty italian salad dressing- it is the bomb!!
Put your dressing in the bowl, add all the cut up veggies to it, while doing this be cooking your pasta. Let it marinate overnight, stirring a couple of times, and it will taste even better!!Recipe for Italian Dressing Pasta Salad?

ANGEL HAIR PASTA SALAD
1 box angel hair pasta, cook and cool (do not add salt to pasta)
1 bottle Vegetable Supreme (McCormick's)
1 sm. bottle Zesty Italian dressing
5 med. tomatoes, seeded and chopped
4 med. cucumbers, seeded and chopped
1 med. onion
Combine all ingredients, mix well. Marinate overnight. This recipe make a large bowl of salad. Keeps well in refrigerator.
just keep it covered, and add lemon juice for keeping
When you make pasta salad, it has a sneaky way of continuing to absorb the dressing, after you store it in frig. Be sure you cover it well and add a bit more dressing if it gets dry.
I like to use:
tri color rontini and a bag of tortellini
red onion
chunks of cheddar cheese
broccoli
green olives
red peppers
small bite size pieces of pepperoni
cucumber
cherry tomato's
Its a lot of ingredients but its worth it. I like to use the dry salad dressing mix called Goods Seasons, zesty Italian style, and I make it the way it tells you to on the box. The tortelini makes a little creamier and cheesier, its delicious. Its always a hit at parties and holiday gatherings!
try a box of mac %26amp; cheese (don't use the cheese packet)
cool your mac for a while in the fridge or the freezer(not too
long)
one hard boiled egg (crushed with a fork)
a teaspoon of mustard
any amount you want of:
gr. onion/peppers/celery/carrot/frozen peas ...whatever you
want
NOW add your Italian salad dressing mixed with a little bit of
mayo until it is the consistancy that you want
OR
add some creamy ceasar dressing and a teaspoon of lemon
juice(That's my favorite)
I use bow tie pasta, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onions sliced in thin circles and cubes of cheddar cheese and/or jack cheese. You can also add olives or peppers or change up the noodles. I agree with the below comment... only use Zesty Italian dressing. I also add some pepper! Put in zip lock baggie over night.
