I used to make the dressing at a restaurant I worked in years ago. I liked it so much, I tried it on pasta, not just spinach sald. It is great.

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb cooked pasta (shape of choice)
1 pkg frozen vegetable mix with broccoli (your choice)
2 c cooked, diced meat of choice (leave out if vegetarian)
1 can(s) sliced black olives (optional)
1/2 small onion diced (may be cooked with pasta to remove sharpness)
fresh vegetables of choice to make salad look filled up
shredded cheese to garnish

1 c each red wine vinegar, sugar and oil of choice (i prefer 1/2 extra virgin olive oil and 1/2 canola)
1 Tbsp mixed italian seasoning
1 tsp each dry mustard, garlic granules, onion powder
1/2 tsp salt (add more to taste)
1/8 tsp black or white pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta as directed on package. Right before pasta is finished add frozen mixed vegetables to thaw. (allow for the vegetables to reheat the water until it steams. You just want to thaw them not cook them). Drain and set aside. Dice the fresh vegetables and meat. Add to pasta. Gently toss. Cover and set in refrigerator.

Set in the refrigerator to give flavors time to mingle and garlic to soften-about 30 min to an hr. Pour entire contents over chilled pasta. Garnish with shredded cheese of choice. Serve cold.

QUICK AND EASY SALAD DRESSING



Quick and Easy Salad Dressing image

This is my favorite dressing of all time and I usually make a largish batch and store in the fridge - it is sweet and sharp and tastes especially great with bitter greens. The trick is to finely grate the garlic (I use a Microplane®) plus the secret ingredient, maple syrup. I like my dressings sweet, but just use less maple syrup if you like your dressings more tart.

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 head iceberg lettuce
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons ketchup
Dash of Tabasco sauce
Dash of black pepper

Steps:

  • Wash the lettuce and remove any damaged or wilted outer leaves. Remove the lettuce core and discard. Cut the head into quarters and set it aside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and the ketchup. Add the Tabasco sauce and pepper to taste. Place a lettuce wedge on each serving plate. Drizzle with the dressing.
  • Quick Lettuce Core Removal Tip
  • Slam the head of lettuce down on a cutting board, core-side down. The core will separate from the rest of the head with a twist and come out easily.
  • From Trisha
  • This dressing also makes a great topping for burgers.
  • From Gwen
  • There are no pickles in the dressing, thus no "islands." I call it Rushin' Dressing because you can mix it quickly when you are rushing to get dinner on the table.
