PRIMO PASTA SALAD

At the last minute, I was told to bring something for a potluck at work. Not having the time to go shopping, I used whatever I had on hand and used a dressing my mother always used on her potato salad. The salad was a hit at work. Takes a little time to make but is well worth the effort.

Time 3h55m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta
3 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
1 (6.5 ounce) jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped (reserve marinade)
½ cup diced celery
½ cup diced red bell pepper
½ cup diced red onion
½ cup diced fully cooked ham
½ cup diced cooked shrimp
½ cup frozen green peas, thawed
½ cup small Cheddar cheese cubes
½ cup small Monterey Jack cheese cubes
⅓ cup diced dill pickle
1 (2.25 ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
1 cup sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons white sugar
½ (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix, or to taste
1 tablespoon mustard
1 dash hot pepper sauce (such as Tabasco®), or to taste
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water until completely cooled; drain.
  • Mix pasta, eggs, artichoke hearts, celery, bell pepper, onion, ham, shrimp, peas, Cheddar cheese, Monterey Jack cheese, pickle, and olive together in a large bowl.
  • Whisk sour cream, mayonnaise, apple cider vinegar, sugar, ranch dressing mix, mustard, and hot pepper sauce together in a separate bowl; season with salt and black pepper.
  • Drizzle dressing over salad and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator 3 hours to overnight. Stir enough of the reserved artichoke marinade into the salad so it is just moistened before serving.

This comes from the 2008 Taste of Home recipe book. I made it last night and thought it was actually pretty good! Nice and fresh and easy with lots of good veggies. This is from their "Cooking for one or two" section, so you might have to double the recipe to make enough for everyone. :)
