Well I posted something this morning and poof, it's gone!  And, it was before any other replies. Okay... I'm not totally crazy, I replied to the post at Jack's!  Well, here it is here for anyone who doesn't visit Jack's... What makes my pasta salad good is the dressing. Got this idea from my mom and it adds so much flavor. Get a bottle of either Wishbone Italian dressing or Seven Seas Italian dressing. Drizzle that over your pasta salad, like normal. Next, sprinkle 1 packet of Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix. Mix everything together and you're ready to go! www.kraftfoods.com/goodseasons/flavors/dry-salad-dressing-and-recipe-mix/ |
