italion dressing
go to food.com but def italian dressing!
If you are making one w/ mayo put your mayo in bowl then add 1/2 & 1/2 or milk till it is a dressing consistency. Need to know what flavor you are looking for to help more. but that will keep it creamy.
I use a fat free Italian, or a lite vinaigrette… really any non-creamy dressing works very well… here’s my favorite easy one. Great for a hot summer afternoon!
1 box macaroni noodles, cooked and drained
1cup frozen green peas, defrosted
1/2 cup finely diced onion
1/2 cup red wine vinaigrette dressing
Put them all in a bowl, mix to coat, chill. Enjoy!
As easy add-ins, you can toss in bacon pieces, diced ham, diced chicken (grilled is terrific!), 1/4 cup mayo, shredded cheese, sprinkles of Parmesan, almonds, croutons… the list is really endless! It could be a side dish (mostly veggies) or a main dish (add meat). Anything goes, and it’s easy!
Happy experimenting!
This is my mother-in-law’s delicious Pasta Salad that
she makes evey Christmas for me. It’s so easy to
make. After ingredients are blended, place in
refrigerator for a few hours or overnight for the flavors to strike
through.
