ANOTHER CATALINA PASTA SALAD



Another Catalina Pasta Salad image

The first time I had this salad, I thought it was some sort of a cheese mixed with pasta. The original recipe was made with chili-mac pasta and hardboiled eggs. I now use rotini pasta and never use the eggs just because of their wonderful aroma :) The recipe instructions are based upon making it the night before. To make the same day, empty all the ingredients in together (including all of the Catalina dressing) and chill for at least 2 hours. Cooking time does not included chill time nor does it include cook time for hardboiled eggs.

Provided by Chef Shelby

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 26m

Yield 12-15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 lbs pasta (I use rotini)
1 large green pepper (cored and diced small)
24 ounces Catalina dressing, divided (I used Kraft)
1/2 cup mayonnaise
4 eggs (hardboiled, cooled, and sliced) (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to directions on package.
  • While pasta is cooking chop up the green pepper.
  • Once pasta is cooked, drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is no longer warm.
  • Empty into large bowl with the green peppers.
  • Add 16 ounces of Catalina dressing and 1/2 cup of mayo and stir until pasta is completely coated. (It should have a creamy orange consistency).
  • Add sliced hardboiled eggs and fold into pasta mixture (optional).
  • Refrigerate overnight.
  • About an hour before serving, pour in the last 8 ounces of Catalina dressing and stir well. (more mayo can be added if desired).

CATALINA 'TACO' SALAD



Catalina 'Taco' Salad image

When is a taco salad not a taco salad? Hamburger, tortilla chips, onion, lettuce and cheese. But it's the dressing that makes this amazing! I got this recipe from my parents who got it from my aunt who got it from a friend and so on. It is an amazing change from a regular taco salad!

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb ground beef

1/2 onion, small dice
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese

  • In a large salad bowl place in the lettuce, cheese, ground beef and onion.
  • Crush the tortilla chips lightly onto them and mix it up.
  • Add enough catalina to cover your salad.

CATALINA PASTA SALAD



Catalina Pasta Salad image

Great for any hamburger supper or pot luck dinner. This is better than any pasta salad I have EVER had as I'm not big on the vinegar based ones. I'm always asked to bring this to family gatherings. This makes a ton, so you may want to cut it down. ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!

Provided by Lizzybob

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 37m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 package tri-color spiral pasta
Miracle Whip
Catalina dressing
1 package frozen green pea
1 -2 cucumber, peeled and diced
1 package cherry tomatoes, halved
1 package baby carrots

Steps:

  • Boil pasta according to package directions.
  • I usually add the baby carrots to the pasta about midway thru cooking.
  • Place frozen peas in a large colinder and dump cooked pasta& carrots on top.
  • Let drain.
  • When carrots have cooled, I slice them in half lengthwise.
  • Place pasta, peas& carrots in a large mixing bowl.
  • Add miracle whip and catalina dressing until moistened.
  • Sorry, I have no measurements as this is how I got the recipe.
  • You just have to keep tasting and adding until you find the right taste.
  • I like mine with more Catalina than Miracle Whip.
  • I like to chill mine at least an hour before serving.
  • Prior to serving add cherry tomatoes and cucumbers.
  • After it chills, you may need to add more Catalina and/or Miracle Whip.
  • If you make this the day before, don't add your cucumbers and tomatoes-it will make it watery.
  • Feel free to change up your vegetables!
