The other day my mom was looking thru Food Network Magazine and saw an article for this Build Your Own Pasta Salad. The possibilities are endless…
Build Your Own Pasta Salad
Choose:
1. Pasta (1/2 pound)
2. Protein

We chose

There were several different options of dressings to make and we chose this one making it a Creamy Parmesan Pasta Salad:
Creamy Parm Dressing:

salt and pepper to taste
There are really so many ways to make this pasta salad that would be delicious! Have fun finding your favorite things to mix in! You can also use as much or as little as you like of each thing you choose. Make it as a side dish or as a meal! Enjoy!
That looks like fun for the kids too! I can’t wait to try out this recipe!
This looks similar to something we make at our house. We use creamy italian dressing and the multi colored noodles.
