Do anybody know how to make a good pasta salad?

Question

is kraft vidalia onion vinaigrette with roasted red peppers good in pasta salad.

Answer 1

no, sorry , all those processed salad dresings by Kraft and Heinz and Nestle are so fake, they have a ton of additives and sugar, high fructose corn syrup etc.
And vinaegrette is so easy to make too!
It's just good oil, twice the amount of cider vinegar ( ie, two TB oil to 4 TB vinegar), a TB wholegrain mustard, 1ts mustard powder, some minced garlic, black pepper, lemon jiuce, salt, and some brown sugar.
Shake up and pour-= vinaegrette is SO easy. Those Porcessed ones are platicky and always leave a nasty taste expecially on pasta- which soaks in all the flavour.
Add minced onion to your homemade vinaegretter and some of your own roasted peppers, and then you'll have cheaper, nicer dressing which doesn't taste like artificial gloop.
And no high fructose corn syrup- what do they put that crap ion for anyway>>

To your pasta, I'd add some canned drained chickpeas, some chopped apple, frozen green peas which you blanch in a cup of boiling water, some tuna, sweetcorn, and that dressing.

The tuna makes it. Also, add brielfy blanched shrimp if you liek fish,. Or tofu.

But pasta is delicate and will soak up fake falvours, I never uinderstand why anyone sane would buy those fake bottles when you can make your own made-to-order vinaegrette.

That would be tasty, but add some of it to the pasta while it's still warm and chill in the fridge while you get the other ingredients ready, then add a little more to moisten the salad when combining everything. It will keep moist longer. This helps when making a pasta salad with mayonnaise, too.

Your idea would be great. We like it with Rotini Pasta, and a good Italian dressing. Plus add shredded Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, grape or cherry tomato's cut in half, finely chopped onion and celery, sliced black olives, and sometimes fresh broccoli and diced salami.
