I make a nice pasta salad without mayo...
fusilli pasta olives 1 to 2cm-cubes of cheese read/green/yellow/orange peppers (or any crunchy veggie) green peas fresh basil leaves mix all together with your favourite dressing - I usually make a very simple olive oil and balsamic vinegar dressing, with salt and pepper. Have fun at the bday party! |

Cold Spaghetti Salad
Cooked spaghetti noodles
jar of "Salad Supreme" seasoning Bottle of Zesty Italian dressing Mix those three together and let sit in fridge overnight. Right before time to serve, add veges and toss. I normally add tomatoe chunks, cucumber slices and black olives but I've seen it with cauliflower & brocolli or slices of different colored bell peppers (green, red & yellow). It's good because even if it sits out for a while, you don't have to worry about it going bad. It will stain your clothes something terrible though!

OK, I know this thread's a little old...
I had a cold pasta salad at a friend's house a while ago. I absolutely LOVED it, and I'm not usually a fan of cold pasta salads. Go to Costco, buy the package of pine nuts - there's a recipe on the back for a pine nut/pesto pasta salad. Yummers!! Sorry, I haven't bought my pack of pine nuts yet, so I can't give you the recipe. Soon as I do, I'll be sure to post it back here for y'all!
