PASTA SALAD FOR A CROWD

This is my go-to pasta salad recipe for a crowd! It's great for showers, picnics, parties, you name it! My mother-in-law taught me to make it. It is easy and very versatile. Today I made it for an event, and I decided to keep track of the measurements so that it could be shared with others who may need a large crowd pasta salad recipe. Hope you enjoy! Better when refrigerated overnight.

  • Rinse cooked pasta in a colander until completely cool. Return to the pot. Add broccoli, tomatoes, salad dressing, Cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well. Refrigerate until chilled, 30 minutes to 1 hour. Serve cold.

Steps:

  • Boil pasta in salted water until al dente.
  • Prepare vegetables as listed.
  • Drain and rinse all canned items.
  • Combine pasta, cheese, canned items, and fresh vegetables in a very large mixing bowl.
  • Add 3/4 of the bottle of salad dressing ( I use Bernstein's Restaurant Recipe Italian) and stir to combine.
  • Add parsley for extra color, add a splash of red wine vinegar (optional) to "brighten" the flavor.
  • The next day, add the remaining salad dressing before serving, and stir thoroughly.
