Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta according to package directions to the al dente stage; rinse; drain. Set aside. --- Combine all vegetables in a large bowl. (add seafood,or ham or bacon or tuna now if using) Set aside.
  • 2. Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk the lemon juice, vinegar, dill, sugar, garlic, salt and pepper. Gradually whisk in the olive oil. (mix in mayonnaise if add the seafood or ham,tuna or bacon)
  • 3. Pour dressing over pasta and fold in the vegetables.Cover and Chill at least 2 hours. --- Note: I usually make double dressing to serve at the table- the pasta will absorb some of the dressing- so it depends how moist you like your salad.

SALAD:
5 c chopped uncooked cauliflowerets, bite size pieces
1 c cucumber slices
1 c red onion, cut into thin wedges
1 c grape tomatoes, cut in 1/2
1/2 c sugar snap peas, cut in half, or 1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1 1/2 c uncooked pasta , elbow or bowtie or wagon wheel
1/2 to 1 c cooked shrimp, cubed cooked ham, bacon or tuna may be added if desired
DRESSING:
1/2 c olive oil
1 Tbsp dry dill weed
1/4 c rice vinegar
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 c mayonnaise, optional- use if adding the meat or seafood
2 tsp finely chopped fresh garlic
3/4 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp granulated sugar
1/4 tsp pepper

CALICO PASTA SALAD

Who would think to put Ro-Tel in a pasta salad? This is very flavorful and filling, and it's a healthier meal that's inexpensive (I think it came with some coupons in the mail). Yum!
