"Smooth seas don't produce skillful sailers. It's the rough waters that train us to be His disciples. He uses the turbulent times in our lives to prepare us for his purposes - if we let Him."

| Cook your pasta according to package directions, don't overcook. Drain and rinse pasta with cold water until pasta is cool enough. Add the cooked pasta to a large bowl. Sprinkle the pasta with the Salad Supreme seasoning until pasta is coated well with seasoning. I use about 1/2 a bottle. Add remaining ingredients and pour the dressing over the salad and gently stir to combine. Refrigerate in Tupperware or covered bowl. I usually will refresh with some more dressing if the pasta has been in the fridge overnight as the pasta absorbs some of the dressing. It's best if made the day before you intend to serve it. If you add cheese to the salad, I usually add a short time before it will be served. This makes one large salad bowl. I usually double this batch when we have a funeral reception for 100 people and there will be other salads such as potato, and the Asian Chicken salad. Serves 8-10 [approximately] Yum . . . this is definitely a delicious salad that Maureen frequently makes for the Funeral Ministry at Cornerstone church. Since Maureen graciously shared her family recipe with me, now my loved ones can be blessed with her cooking talents as well. Enjoy . . .  |
