An easy pasta salad, just like you'd get it
from a deli at the grocery store! This basic version of the classic pasta salad
can be modified to consist of tuna, peas, or whatever extra functions you
desire!
Pasta salad is a classic barbecue side dish
and snacks! I remember my mom buying small containers of pasta salad from the
grocery store when I was a kid, and we'd eat them along with burgers and
sausages, you name it.
The classic pasta salad is very easy to
make at home, and it tastes exactly the same as what you might expect from
buying a pasta salad at the grocery store. With just a few simple ingredients,
you can prepare this classic summer side for your next barbecue. Don't forget
to check out our other pasta salads if you're looking for something a little
different!
The beauty of this recipe is that it is
very simple and basic, but it can be modified to suit your tastes. Want to
throw some peas? Go for it? Do you think tuna looks good? drop it! There are
many ways to alter this recipe, but it is still very tasty in its simplest
form.
I actually prefer to eat it as it is
written, just because it reminds me of the pasta salad that I ate while growing
up from delicious foods, but go ahead and change this recipe however you like.
As I mentioned, pasta salad is easy to
prepare. It only takes about 15 minutes of your time, but you will need to
refrigerate for about an hour for the best results. You can eat it as it is,
but it definitely tastes a little better after it's time to hang out in the
fridge.
If you eat it, dry it a little, and stir in
a little milk, about 1 tablespoon each time until you get the desired
consistency.
* Ingredients :
° 2 cups of pasta (I use whatever in my
cupboard)
° 1⁄2 cup of diced cheese (better cheddar
or coo jack)
° 1⁄2 cup diced pork
° 1⁄2 cup of Miracle Whip (you can add
mayonnaise of your choice)
° 1 tablespoon mustard
* Instructions:
Cook the pasta, rinse and place in the
fridge while dicing the cheese and ham.
Mix cold noodles, cheese, and ham in a
bowl.
In a separate bowl we mix the miracle whip
and mustard. (If it's too sour, mom will put a little sugar in it, about a
teaspoon.)
Mix it together and let it cool or serve
immediately
Enjoy !
