The Pasta Salad For Flavor Lovers
I first shared this recipe for my mama’s cold pasta salad recipe back in 2011 and when I initially shared the recipe I told a story from my childhood about drinking salad dressing. I won’t get into that story again, because 1) how embarrassing and 2) embarrassing.
But I mention that to tell you that, even as a child, I was big on flavor. I always want flavors to just explode in my mouth and we have recently discovered a secret ingredient for making this pasta salad do just that.
This is my mama’s classic pasta salad recipe but updated with a little twist – Salad Supreme.
Between the cold tri-color pasta, the black and green olives, the pepperoni, and the zesty Italian dressing, this salad already is summer barbecue perfection. But toss in the cubes of creamy cheddar and the heavy dose of Salad Supreme and this salad is hard to quit.
Go forth and pasta salad to your heart’s content. You deserve it.
