PASTA SALAD, FABULOUS NO MAYO!



Pasta Salad, Fabulous No Mayo! image

I've had many people who don't like pasta salad LOVE my pasta salad. The best thing is it's flexibility. Don't like tomatoes? Olives? Leave them out! Love broccoli? Chicken? Throw it in! This is quick, easy & fairly cheap, but delicious!

Time 18m

Yield 1 large dish; servings depend on what is added and i, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (16 ounce) box salad rotini pasta (any variety will do, but this is my favorite)
1 tomatoes, diced
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, drained & rinsed
0.5 (2 1/4 ounce) can sliced black olives
1 (16 ounce) bottle Italian dressing, any brand
crouton, favorite variety
bacon bits
parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Cook pasta to desired tenderness.
  • When cooled, add diced tomatoes, olive slices and beans.
  • Add Italian dressing, measure by eye, pasta should be coated, but not swimming!
  • I usually use packets of powdered dressing mix, as do not keep bottles of Italian dressing on hand, and can make as much or as little as I want.
  • I've also played with different varieties of Italian dressings.
  • You can have fun with it, tweak to your taste.
  • If not serving immediately, refrigerate. But mix well before serving to redistribute dressing that may settle at bottom of dish.
  • Serve with croutons, bacon bits & Parmesan cheese.
  • (I serve this on the side to sprinkle on top, because if any leftovers croutons& bacon bits will get soggy when refrigerated, and vegans don't eat cheese!).

PIQUANT CHEESE SALAD (NO MAYO OR PASTA)



Piquant Cheese Salad (No Mayo or Pasta) image

Here's another recipe from THE BEST OF COOKING by Arne Kruger & Annette Wolter, this time a great make-ahead summer salad full of color, flavor & textural crunch that is ideal for patio grill party, picnic, camping & potluck occasions. The recipe suggests a mildly-flavored & not very hard cheddar cheese, but allows for subs such as Gouda or Monterey Jack. (Please see note that follows the prep) *Enjoy*

Time 20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 ounces cheddar cheese (cut in small cubes)
2 small onions (sliced in rings, or 3-4 boiling size onions sliced in rings)
6 ounces salami (diced, may sub pepperoni)
4 small tomatoes (seeded & diced)
6 sweet gherkins (cut in 1/4-in slices)
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons pineapple juice
3 drops Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon black pepper
4 tablespoons olive oil
4 ounces pineapple chunks (diced)
fresh chives (chopped, garnish) (optional)

Steps:

  • In a serving bowl, mix cubed cheese, onion rings, diced salami, diced tomato & sliced gherkins.
  • In a separate bowl, combine brown sugar, pineapple juice, Tabasco, pepper, olive oil & diced pineapple chunks. (I use a glass jar w/a tight lid & just shake to combine).
  • Just b4 serving, toss salad in dressing & serve garnished w/chopped chives as desired.
  • NOTE: To make ahead & avoid a mushy cheese effect, follow same prep except DO NOT include diced cheese in the mix of Step 1. Store the cheese ready to use in a sandwich bag or refrigerator container & combine w/salad ingredients at the same time the dressing is added just before serving.
