Pasta Salad Revamp



Isn't that just gorgeous!?! I LOVE the new Bamboo Large Bowl! I have this recipe that I've been making for many years & people love it. Well last night I was looking at my Pampered Chef spices and decided to bring it up a notch =) The results were better than I expected...My family devoured it! Here's the recipe...

PASTA SALAD REVAMP
  • 1lb Rotini (your choice, whole wheat, vegi, etc)
  • 2lbs Frozen Vegis (California Blend is what I always use)
  • 1 C. Mayo (I use light)
  • 1 C. Sour Cream (I use light)
  • 2 TBS Spinach & Smoky Red Pepper Oil Dipping Seasoning, by The Pampered Chef (you can click on the name to go to the product page & order)
  • Salt to season
Bring a stock pot to boil, adding the frozen vegis just as the water comes to a boil. Once at a rumbling boil, add pasta & cook according to directions.
While those are cooking, mix the mayo, sour cream and Spinach & Smoky Red Pepper Oil Dipping Seasoning together in Small Batter Bowl, set aside.
Strain pasta and vegis. Add to a large bowl while still warm (this helps to mix the mayo & sour cream easily). Add the mayo mix and toss the salad.
You can either serve immediately (which is how I like it) or refrigerate it and serve cold (how Jose likes it).
I hope you enjoy!
