Lindas Healthy Filling Pasta Salad Recipes

LINDA'S SEAFOOD PASTA SALAD

Linda's Seafood Pasta Salad image

I love the flavors in this pasta salad with the addition of the lemon, shrimp and Old Bay Seasoning! I often substitute whole wheat pasta in this dish... I also double the mayonnaise, Old Bay seasoning and lemon, adding half when I initially make it, then just before serving I add some more, so it isn't dry after sitting in the fridge for flavors to meld... Sometimes I just double up on the shrimp or the crabmeat instead of using both together... Either way, this recipe is a KEEPER for sure!

Time 53m

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) box rotini pasta, cooked and drained (corkscrew)
1 large onion, cut in 1/2, then sliced into thin wedges
1/2 green pepper, diced
2 carrots, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 large cucumber, peeled, and diced
2 medium tomatoes, cut in 1/2, then sliced into thin wedges
3 large broccoli florets, separating flowers into bite size pieces and peeling stem, and cutting into thin slices
1 (15 ounce) can black olives (left whole, cut in 1/2, or cut into slices)
16 ounces bottle* of your favorite salad dressing (I use Italian, Caesar or Christy's Greek Dressing, (my favorite)
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Cook pasta according to box directions, drain and let cool (do not overcook pasta, or salad will be mushy). Refrigerate.
Meanwhile, slice and dice all veggies, and put in a big bowl. Refrigerate.
When all is chilled mix veggies in with pasta, and add salad dressing, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix all well.
*Save some of the salad dressing to pour on just before serving. When it's time to serve you can add more salad dressing, if you like more. The pasta has a tendency to soak up salad dressing as it marinates, so I save some to add right at serving time.
Variations:.
Use kalamata, or green olives instead of black.
Add little corn ears.
Add your favorite cheese, any hard, American or Feta.
Add cheese and diced pepperoni, or hard salami.
Add frozen green peas, thawed.
Add radishes, diced, or sliced.
