Help me with cold pasta salad?!
Answers: I want cold pasta salad with the braided macs, pepperoni, & cheese.. what else? dressing?
yeah add italitan dressing and maybe some veggies if youd like, like peppers, onions, cucumbers, olives, onions, garbanzo beans, etc.
Zesty Italian.
Yum..vinegerette dressing...cucumbers? Anything you wish:D
Yeah.
Oil and vinegar... or you could cheat and put some Italian dressing.
You just want to mix some mellow flavors with some tang. Even lemon juice will do.
ok, that does not sound good..pepperoni save that for pizza.
I would go with cut up celery..carrots..red onions..and your golden italian dressing by Kraft. Drizzle all the dressing over the pasta and veggies.
I would throw in a little Dijon mustard to spice it up a speck.
yeah, dressing.. something fatty. mayonnaise is a good first try... mix a cup up and see how you like it. maybe ranch style seasonings (mustard powder, garlic, bit of sugar, black pepper, dash of salt, parsley)... there's always black olives. capers?
How about sliced olives green or ripe a little red onion.... and Girard's Italian dressing
salt and pepper, onions, i like fresh basil and don't use dressing, use Mayonnaise.
good seasons italian dressing is good, I like olives...black and green, broccoli florets, mushrooms

You could try Renee's Mediterrean Greek Salad Dressing, or Renee's Italian. This is the only salad dressing that I have found that only uses natural ingredients, doesn't have any added sugar, and tastes absolutely delicious.
Italian dressing would probably be best with those ingredients, also, you might add tomatoes, black olives, red, green or yellow peppers, onion, really anything that would go well with the dressing you choose.
Best wishes!

mmmmm well add italian dressing it is the best with it and black olves taste really good um you can also add pretty much ne thing but make sure the dressing is italian! good luck try typing in pasta salad recipes online there are so many recipes or go to foodnetwork.com
add some slivered red onion, & green pepper, shredded carrot for color.....sliced black olives......dressing : use mayo with a little mustard mixed into it....be sure to initially put in plenty of the dressing because the pasta will soak some of it up and you don't want a dry pasta salad......don't forget salt & pepper and add some parsley flakes sprinkled on top.
A dab of Mayo, a pinch of dry mustard, celery chopped fine and some slices black olives.
I like Kraft cole slaw dressing with a dab of mayo for mine. and lots of fresh ground pepper.
