Super simple pasta salad recipe with mayonaise?!
Answers: Does anyone have a SUPER simple recipe for pasta salad that includes mayo?
Cooked pasta of your choice, veggies if you want like tomato, onion celery, add 1/2 a packet of Italian dressing mix dry with the mayo or miracle whip and stir. Tastes great with just pasta or with the veggies. Add cooked chicken, turkey, beef, or pork if you desire. (I don't add any salt or black pepper to this at any time, don't add salt to pasta water either, the Italian dressing dry mix is great flavor without salt.) Eat warm or cool and serve as chilled salad.
2 cups cooked macaroni, drained, rinsed, cooled
2 hard-cooked eggs, chopped
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/3 to 1/2 cup mayonnaise or salad dressing
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons vinegar
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
pepper, to taste
Combine all macaroni salad recipe ingredients, using about 1/3 cup of mayonnaise and stir well. Add a little more mayonnaise, if necessary. Taste and adjust seasonings. Cover and chill for several hours before serving.
1/2 pkg. pasta (sm. shells or spirals)
1/2 lb. sharp Cheddar cheese
1 sm. can corn
1 sm. can peas
2 carrots, shredded
1/2 c. real bacon bits
1 c. mayonnaise
Prepare pasta as directed on package. When done, rinse pasta under cold running water until all pasta is cold to the touch. Drain and put in large mixing bowl. Cut up cheese into small cubes and add to pasta along with corn and peas that have had all juices drained off. Add ranch dressing and bacon bits and anything else you can think of and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.
I used to make a very easy one that I stole from the cafe at a museum.
They combined cooked and chilled tiny seashell pasta
a little mayo, cooked peas and some crab meat or shrimp.
Then they added some fresh dill.
Has to be tuna mayonaise.
1 tin of sweetcorn or fresh sweetcorn.
Mayonaise.
Tuna tinned or fresh but i suggest tinned.
Pasta.
Mix the tune and mayo in a bowl. Mix with pasta. Add sweetcorn..You have just made a CLASSIC pasta salad.
my mother prepares pasta-or rice salad with:
-wurstel slices or tuna fish or cooked ham pieces
-cheese pieces
-tomato pieces
-corn
-black olives
then adds oregano, salt and two sppons of mayo...really good and easy!
I use rainbow rigatoni, 2 parts ranch dressing, 1 part itallian dressing, kidney beans, red onion, garbonzo beans, and olives.
Mix mushrooms and sweetcorn through pasta, toss together with little mayonnaise.
Include in salad:
tomato & cucumber (tossed together with drizzle of good olive oil)
Celery & apple (tossed with mayo) sprinkle chopped walnuts on top.
Hard boiled eggs & spring onions (mixed with mayo) sprinkle cayenne pepper on top then grate some cheddar cheese over it.
Cold potatoes chopped roughly & spring onions, mix with mayo.
Serve all above with lettuce & your favourite meat or fish & more mayo.
Very filling.
i usually just cook some pasta noodles, add two hard boiled eggs all chopped up, some chopped scallions or yellow onions, two cans of tuna mix it all up with mayo and season with salt and pepper
