Pasta salad! I just can't ever think of it until I want some!

I use this recipe from the top tea room here now closed.

I do increase the dill and I added a green pepper.

I have this from your previous posting but never made it. I just put it into my cell and will get the ingredients next grocery trip. Thanks for posting again.

Great idea! Before I even read the post I saw your heading, and went right to the kitchen and made one.

I had on hand a tender fresh zucchini, part of a tomato, Penzey's Country French Vinaigrette mix (and the oil and vinegar), and a box of rainbow rotini. I used about 2/3 of the box.

Done in a flash. Cooling in the fridge now (I left the pasta hot and added the chunked-up squash to soften it a skosh, and then the dressing to absorb in nicely, then the mater).

I may add a little feta when I serve. DH is a meat and potato and veggie man, so along with a side of meatloaf, the pasta salad takes care of the "potato" and veg. Thanks, @ECBG !

I think this was posted last year because I even got the cookbook from the library. Seemed to me it was from a once popular restaurant. Found wonderful recipes in it.

@Yes, my Dear. We were discussing it, and I knew there would be questions. The owner of the tearoom is near 90 now and I was her flowergirl in her wedding.

I would like to try a recipe for a "Greek" version of pasta salad.

I make mine w/either Kens or Newmans Italian/vinagarette salad dressing, pasta, cubed mozzarella, cut up tomatoes, black olives, onions, peppers and some cut up salami. Sometimes add lightly cooked summer squash.
